Prospective Tenant - Used to use

[Joe P.]

Just curious if anyone else has come across this.

You meet some nice folks who want to rent from you. They seem normal, all other requirements are OK.

Like any good landlord, you scan their social media. You find out that this individual, or perhaps both, used to be drug users. They are now clean, according to their Instagram, or Twitter, or whatever.

What goes through your mind, and how does it play into your overall evaluation? Does making this part of your evaluation potentially tie to discrimination laws?
