I still don't rent to anyone on the sex offender registry or that has been evicted in the past five years.What, specifically, is encouraging you to change your standards?

I have a certain ratio per100 headcount (not households, not age, not sex) I use when decidingto buy or build in a town.

You don't ever want to accept a renter and then let them move in an unknown person because that's how many renters will sneak in their sex-offender boyfriend or drug-dealing cousin.

They compared LL to sex workers with the LL being thought of as the worse of the two (at least the sex workers work for the money). 

For example, if they are a sex offender or they just got out of prison two weeks ago for murder, that would be an automatic denial.

A wise man once said that is like saving sex for old age!

Self-managing it from Seattle might be problematic depending on how lucky you get.Car insurance rates are particularly high in 98418 due to all of the above.The sex offenders residing in that zip code are extremely high as well.

Since the installation, I've noticed no incidents... other than a young couple having sex in an SUV in my driveway. 

Will your house be listed on the registered sex offender's webpage? 

They could be felons or sex offenders on the run, you have no way to know.
