The male applicant has minor speeding violation  but the female applicant has 3 traffic violations including no registration card etc.

The fact that I am younger (26) and a female, I feel that this plays a part in the emotions side of things.

whether the verbiage is in the contract or not Georgia courts have a habit of favoring the tenant when it comes to push a snd shove, especially a female tenant.

@Andrey Y.There was more than one female that talked about this.

Not only to keep them from being aggressive, but to keep dogs away from the property if a female is in heat, or have one that's not neutered run off and get somebody's poodle preggers.I'd also require renter's insurance with a rider for the dog, if there is such a thing.Ironically, the only breed that has ever attacked dogs of mine, all different types of terriers of around 20 pounds, have been german shepherds.

Unless you can get to the low-problem undergrads, like - dare I be politically incorrect - Asian students.  

If you had a single family home that you did not live in for rent, you could not differentiate between a man or woman, but since you live there, you are well within your rights to limit it to a female or many other criteria that would make you feel safer.  

If a landlord resides in the same home, like renting the upstairs, then you can limit who you rent to, avoid all discrimination issues and only select, say, single females between the ages of 25 to 35 who are swim suit models.So, yes, if they qualify on "paper" you better rent to them just like anyone else. :) 

We were informed by the male tenant last week that the female had moved out.

I have a tenant (single female) on the 1st floor who has only been there a few weeks and has sex quite loudly around 2am when I am trying to sleep after putting in a 12-16hr workday.
