Is it okay to be open and honest about Felons
To me, this is not a discrimination issue it is a protecting my neighbors and other tenants thing. Can you be straight up honest with your tenants and others in saying if you or others have Felony convictions that include a violent nature/sex crime of any sort and you have not been out of jail/prison for at least 5 years to prove yourself as rehabilitated then I do not want you in my property?
I don't want to waste their time/money and I want my other tenants and neighbors to know that I am doing my job of keeping them as safe as I can.
Of course, other crimes will be considered on a case by case review at my sole discretion.
Thanks,
