Discrimination

Hi,

One of my apartments just became available and I placed an ad on craigslist. here is the link:

http://burlington.craigslist.org/apa/4227254855.html

The next day I got an email from someone saying my ad was discriminating. I asked why and he said I can't say "no prior evictions" and I can't ask how much someone makes, as it is none of my business, along with a couple of other things like that I can't run a credit check. My wife and I had a good laugh about the income part. Imagine if you couldn't qualify a tenant based on income. How would you screen someone, check their pulse? ok here's the keys... haha

Anyway, any constructive criticism about my ad would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

You're also "discriminating" against smokers, people without cars to park in the garage, and people with no quarters for laundry.
