Standard application criteria?

[Jonathan Wildy]

I see more and more tenant friendly or landlord horrible state laws. I have had to take two ESAs non-disclosed at time of lease signing this year. How do I make a set of criteria that seems so crazy no one lives up to it but I pick the most qualified? Or, do I have to have someone qualify based on the criteria? Kansas City is now trying to pass a rule that a landlord must accept HUD and other vouchers for rent.... I don't see how if the voucher is $600/month but the rent is $1500 for that place? To me it's a no brained that the person can't afford to live and pay the bills? I'm not in KC yet but I think this new development will keep me out. So, I'm looking for a standard set of criteria and then is it possible to overlook a criteria at discretion or does that negate all criteria?
