Free rent or discount for law enforcement

[Account Closed]

I want to know if any has experience offering law enforcement, govt employees, etc. a discount on rent, or perhaps having a program where you let them live rent free (assuming a larger complex of course). Legal? Illegal? Pros? Cons?

How would you pick someone to live for free?  Kind of as a way of giving back without running afoul of the law. You may get multiple applications from law enforcement but it gets tricky on whom to pick from there. What criteria could be used or would it be better to have a non-profit select the person and pay the rent instead so it isn't directly affiliated with the apartment complex?
