It also means that you cannot deny selection of an applicant for having a Section 8 voucher.

If you try something else first and fail going this route second will very likely be viewed as retribution and be denied.

Based on the feedback I'm getting here, I guess I'll switch negotiating positions and require completion of work before the close of escrow, and deny his request to rent the unit.

Hi Adam,or maybe Dobrý den? :-) I

If your financials don't change and your LTV won't be different, I would imagine it's a better situation for the bank to have the tenanted, renovated property, so I don't see why you would be denied, but I couldn't say for sure.

Sounds like your best way out is to be denied financing. 

I then no longer have payment problems.That ruling has t do with the value but the court still can do what is referred to as a "cram down" reducing amounts that have nothing to do with the value of the collateral or dismiss it entirely for non-compliance.Next, if you're renting the car, good for you, if you're simply a secured creditor, it's unlawful collection practice, you're basically denying use.

If applicant #1 meets your qualification requirements, why deny them?

I think you could discriminate, though I would find another reason to deny tenancy.

Stay in control by denying the request and demanding to be responsible as the Owner/Manager/Operator
