I know that it is illegal to discriminate against potential tenants based on any of the protected categories (race, national origin, etc). Are there any other reasons that I CANNOT reject a candidate for?

There's a potential candidate that I don't want to rent to because they are just hard to communicate with, even though they haven't submitted an application yet. They were late to their scheduled viewing, went to the wrong house, and were not communicative about it. Then they asked questions about the application that were clearly answered in the application instructions. My gut feeling is that these people will be a pain to deal with.

Do I even need to provide a reason for denying them? Should I just tell them to not bother sending an application?
