Need advice on wether or not to rent to people on disability.

[Gary Dale McKee]

So, I recently listed a property for rent or for sale by owner.  I have had several inquires about the property as a rental and the majority of them have been people on disability benefits.  I know enough to know that I have to be careful not to discriminate against anyone.  I have a couple questions about how to handle this situation.

• Is it wise to rent to someone on disability seeing how it would probably be very difficult to evict and get your past rent if the tenant defaults.
• If I do not want pets in the home and the tenant has a service animal how do I handle that situation, or any animal for that matter service animal or not.
•  How do I disqualify them without getting myself into a legal mess.

I am just really hesitant to rent to anyone of disability and would like to hear from someone more experienced them I am in this area.
