We use a scoring system.Stated criteria, pretty broad since we pay the screening fees:Our Criteria:We do not deny housing for race, color, religion, sex, national origin, handicap, sexual orientation, marital status, or familial status.We do deny housing to individuals:when the application is not complete or accuratewhere there is not sufficient income/resources to pay rent and livewhere there is poor prior tenancy: evictions, violations, damage to rental property, poorly handled move outs, amounts are still owing to landlords or utilities.

Federal law prohibits discrimination etc. in regards for someone to judge against race, color, religion, handicap, familiar status, national origin, etc.. religion, social status.  

By adding a handicap space, makes me lose 2 regular spots.
