But, let's reel it in and not start chasing religion, sexual orientation, etc. down the rabbit hole, and take official language out of the conversation too.

Disposable cash was always in short supply.Using the concept of 'deferred gratification', that experience has let to a nice cash out so don't get discouraged (see profile for retirement).Their toys will not be warm when the w2 goes away.

Just in case.Now, if it just so happened that the five you liked best were of 5 different races, different sexual orientations, some had kids, LOL, you'd probably be fine.  

You need to make sure she's on the same page as you, financially, spiritually, sexually, etc before you seriously consider letting her encroach on your single man-space permanently.  

Are you on the sexual offender's list? 

Here is the Seattle definition: “Discrimination” means any conduct, whether by single act or as part of a practice, the effect of which is to adversely affect or differentiate between or among individuals or groups of individuals, because of race, color, creed, religion, ancestry, national origin, age, sex, marital status, parental status, sexual orientation, gender identity, political ideology, honorably discharged veteran or military status, alternative source of income, participation in a Section 8 or other subsidy program, the presence of any disability, or the use of a service animal by a disabled person.

The key is not to discriminate on ethnicity, sex, age, sexual orientation, disability ect. 

As long as you arent denying them as a tenant based on their age, race, sex, sexual orientation, religion, disability status, and familial status.When I accept section 8 tenants I also make sure they pass the same credit and background check as all of my other tenants.

Unbelievable. Besides his vague inquiry about the bg check, he was unwilling to tell me what his exact charges were. Just that they were child abuse. I asked him if it was a felony and he hemmed and hawed but wouldn't...

I publish my qualifications and they are the same for everyone. there is no such law any where in the USA that you can get sued for rejecting a convicted felony or a eviction in the past you cannot reject for color, sex, sexual orientation or religion and so forth just make your rules clear and they apply for all and you never end up in court for such a thing. by the way you cant just tell them you just changed your mind that mean if you rent the apt to someone else any time over the next month your going to court to fight for a discrimination charge. make your own rules and stick with them for all.
