Can you state: "credit score must be above ___" to rent

[Elizabeth Wilson]

We are renting a home with a lease option.  I will only accept a certain credit score or higher.  Can I state in the advertisements for the house that they must have a certain score or higher? 

[Aron D.]

I always put the following in my rental ads to avoid people wasting my time.  "Must have 3X monthly rent in pre-tax income and a 650+ credit score"  In addition, I have the applicants pay the $30-$40 fee to have me use the following website
"https://biggerpockets.mysmartmove.com/" to screen their credit.  It takes longer to rent units, but I would rather reduce the headaches of getting someone that will either trash the place or not be able to pay.
