Applicants and social groups
I currently have a tenant being evicted for none payment. This tenant is acquired and is clearly using illegal drugs. Now I have another mobile home for sale in the park. during my application vetting I noted that the applicant is friends with said tenant. At first thought "ok, maybe they could be acquaintances". Then as I drove through the park, applicant was at the tenants lot. While tenant is on house arrest. This indicates Pretty good friends.
My question is can I legally deny his application for association? I have not received aback ground check yet. that is the last step if they make it that far.

@LaDonna Davidson It is your property and you can select whatever applicant you choose just do not discriminate against any protected group; handicap, race etc. Simply move on to your next candidate. If you end up writing a letter, not suggesting you do, thank her for applying, you have chosen another applicant, and you wish her good luck in her search.
