These days, state laws hold landlord responsible for renting to sex offenders and criminals, and I'm not sure how my insurance company would handle it if one of your subtenants, a known child molester, molested a neighbor's kid.

@Andrew PappasDon’t forget to do a sex offender search too. https://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/CJ38/AreaSearch

In our market we have one city that gives the voucher holder her/his own bedroom and separates the sexes for anyone over the age of 10 into two people per bedroom.  

There are 7 protected classes at the federal level.Race, color, disability, religion, sex, familial status and national origin.Here in MA, we have 15.  

Be sure to google the property address, I have come across sex offender tenants and news of big-time police drug raids by doing that.

That is a look that appeals to both sexes.

Also if this group is looking for a more detailed response  in addition to my adverse action notice as to why we are choosing another group, are the reasons listed above okay to use since they don't fall under any discrimination laws ( age, sex, religion) Thanks for your time and help with this

This is one of my favorite questions to answer.A great analogy comes from a Chris Rock song, "No matter what a stripper tells you, there is no sex in the champagne room."

@Ericka Grant,We had a similar situation, young girl LOVED the place, signed contract, paid deposit.. then the day after the lease started, she told us her dad did a search, and said there were too many sex offenders nearby, and she wouldn't move in because she was afraid now (she saw it twice in person, no concerns).    

From those 3, I can check FB, criminal and sex offender registry in 2 minutes.
