Multiple Applicants

[William R.]

I have two available apartments in a triplex. All applicants are interested in the same unit. How would you recommend proceeding. Unfortunately several of them feel like they are entitled to the unit for some reason. It is a large apartment so it is attracting students.

Questions:

1. Is it legal to select tenants based on them having fewer occupants?

2. Can I ask all of them to bring their best and highest offer? haha

3. I believe one set of tenants will also be quieter, can I discriminate based on that belief? Considering there is a young family with baby in an adjacent unit.

Thanks!
