Mine does background checks, credit checks, sex offender registry checks as well as past landlord statements and employment verification. 

My point is that if you don't rent to someone who meets your documented criteria, or if you decline one person with a dog but accept a different one, then you are open to being accused of discriminating on the base of race, sex, etc.

Federally protected classes are limited to: Race, Color, Religion, Sex, Familial status, National Origin, or Disability. 

So a guy I know just bought a 11 plex and he got a good deal due to 5 or 6 sex offenders living there and the owner was in a bad spot with it since no one wanted to move in. the new owner is now fixing it up and will probably have it renting in December.

Nonetheless, I couldn't recommend waking up to the sounds of the neighbor's sex romp or bodily functions at $125/night.

That is familial status, color, national origin, disability, race, religion, and sex."  

At least then we'll have 3 meals a day and all the sex we don't want!

If someone wants to take the attitude that same-sex marriage is "wrong" and that the government should intervene in this personal decision and this contract between two individuals, so be it.

For the background check, we don't want any felonies in the last 7 years and no sex offenders.
