We choose to work with people who don't smoke, drink (in excess), or use drugs.

As for parties and illicit behavior, I have certain terms in the lease regarding underage drinking, and drug use that can potentially violate the lease and be grounds for eviction.

They drug their feet on me for like 5 weeks on a 5 plex I had ready to rent they came back at me with small  stuff like a exterior door was 3/4 above  flush "tripping hazard"   no light on  a small hall way, etc...

Gang & drug-infested areas run $1,500/2 bed apartment. $3k for similar in Mission Valley.

The neighbor across the street has a similar house that he had rented twice, to drug addicts.

I like both of these guys, however drugs at work... more than a huge red flag.

@Arlen Chou I would say that you perfectly described the Rent Control "drug" that tenants are happily taking.

As a criminal defense attorney, I do agree that the majority of my clients, especially in drug cases, are African American or Hispanic but I do not agree with HUD. 

Breaking the lease could be domestic violence with the tenant ,disrespect to security or drug and alcohol issues so really anything we felt was inappropriate and the police would enforce it we could call them and say that an individual was tresspassing.

I know it used to be a pretty bad area, with a lot of drug use.
