Do I have to give a reason when declining an applicant?

[A W]

If I do, can I use his/her income as a reason?

Or what is your favorite "excuses"? :) sometimes we just do not like a person...

Thanks.

I would just like to point out that it is legal to discriminate, provided that you're not discriminating against a protected class. For example, I discriminate against all felons, druggies, punks that have to hold their pants up with one hand, anyone with head to toe tatts, and anyone that calls me "bub" on the phone (ignorant urban hillbillies).

I don't try to hide the reason that I'm turning them down. If they're a druggie, I simply say that I don't rent to druggies!
