Is it legal to charge more...

[Nicholas Miller]

Is it legal to charge more rent from an individual who has had a recent bankruptcy, eviction or a low credit score?  I have searched the net in search of an answer but have not been successful and was wondering if there is a legal way to do this.  Lenders do this in the form of higher interest rates, can landlords?

Doesn't really make logical sense to me.... If they have a history of having trouble paying, how does charging more make them more likely to pay. Seems counterintuitive and would actually make them more likely to not pay.
