@Kyle J. Thanks for your help but I'm interested in the State of Georgia not NY, I'm sorry I forgot to put that in my question. You see I'm worried about accepting tenants with income that you can't garnish (Social Security Disability, Child Support or veteran's benefits) which makes it risky for a landlord to recuperate losses if the tenant doesn't pay.
@J Scott Thank you for your help. I was referring to the state of Georgia (sorry I didn't add that to my question). So you're saying that its illegal to discriminate based on source of income (federal) but local laws supersede federal laws. I would think it would be the other way around. I'm just worried that I couldn't recouped any losses if the tenant source of income was SSI, Child Support or Veteran's Benefits.
@Jon Holdman Thank you for your help. I was referring to the State of Georgia (Sorry I didn't add that to the question). I'm concerned with recouping any losses if the tenant source of income was un-garnishable (if that's a word) like SSI, Veteran's benefits or Child Support. So you're saying to get around that law I just have to set an income minimum (3x the rent).
