Renting to Megan's Law offender?

This must have been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything when searching.

In general:
Do any of you rent to Megan's Law offenders? Under what circumstances?

Specifically:
I have a 9-unit low-income (<$500/mo) building, and a ML offender applied recently. We told him no, but it left me thinking whether I should have been open to it, and what to do next time.

Sex offenders are the bottom rung of society. Even in prison, they are looked down upon and are the first ones to be beaten or killed. I would never rent to one of these creeps.

Even if you thought this guy would be a good tenant, your other eight tenants might move out when they find out that a pedophile lives in their building.
