No!!!!!!!!!!!!! You cannot discriminate against section 8 in MA. Doing so will get you sued in a heartbeat! Putting that you do not take section 8 in MA is not allowed per state rules. They can be screen out in your normal process but not "We don't accept Section 8".

@James Klafehn In MA there are additional protected classes. Receiving public assistance is one of them.  Each state might have different regulations. Following this advice in MA will get him sued. Please make sure in the future to be specific to your state.
