Do yo list your rental qualifications in your ads?
My townhome is getting lots of interest with prospective renters, but almost everyone's first question is "What are your qualifications?" This translates in my head as "How crummy of a tenant are you willing to take?" I'm considering putting minimum qualifications in my ads to weed out the low credit / recent conviction / low verified income types. What's your experience? Are there any legal considerations I should be wary of?

I believe it's wise to be direct in your listing. @Ben Soutas makes an excellent point, but you can easily steer clear of any problems with the law by basing your qualifications on quantitative data: FICO, income, not Section 8 approved, etc.
