Medical students actually are my target market since it's a 1 min walk to a medical school.
I am also well versed in landlord tenant law to the point that I have corrected real estate attorneys on a few occasions.
The problem is that I am in the legally flawed state of Massachusetts which lacks a rent escrow law and has a sanitary code that is easy for a "professional" tenant to abuse legally. A code violation that is the landlords fault can be created as easily as removing the outlet cover and calling inspectional services. The only real cure is to screen people. Lots of the old time landlords automatically reject lawyers and law students because since they have a high tendency to take you to court and abuse the numerous loopholes in the laws. Even if you do everything right, you can still lose in court here. We lobby constantly to close the loopholes to at least make the law fair.
When I got my real estate license and took the refresher class to keep the license (by an attorney no less teaching) it was stated that it was legal to discriminate against law students and lawyers. As others have mentioned, law students and attorneys, don't appear to be protected classes. I am wondering if anyone has tested it in court people and if they have ever run into problems?
Also I apologize for any flaws in my grammar since this was typed and edited on my phone.
