I have gained enough points to fly first class anywhere in the world for free  ( last year was Singapore an Thailand) ( 14k was what it would have cost for 2 tickets round trip)   and get free hotel for 10 to 15 days.. ( 2 years ago 10 days at the Hilton Waikaloa all for FREE.. simply by being loyal to the brand.I think that is the business man perspective..Not sure how many other road warriors like myself are on BP.. but I fly right at 60 to 70k miles a year and that does not include my private aviation up and down the west coast.So for me personally to save a few bucks and get no perks doing an air Bnb or vrbo in a BUSINESS setting just has zero appeal..I am sure I am in the VAST minority here..And if you have your company paying for it.. they will put you were they are going to put you.

All but one of these is usually visible and apparent on your first meeting, i.e. a landlord could assume an applicant wearing a hijab is of the Muslim faith, or someone of darker skin tone is of ethnic descent, or a person who walks with a cane or is wheelchair-bound has a disability, or a person who speaks Spanish fluently (or conversely doesn't speak English well) is of Hispanic or Latin or non-American descent, or a woman is, well, a woman.

Poor English speaking tenants that would give money orders not filled out because they couldn't spell so she would fill in after they left and make out to herself.

@Dawn Anastasi if I write into my business plan (not a non-profit, btw) some basic financial literacy counseling (Financial Peace Uni comes to mind, churches all over the nation do it in English and Spanish) as an offering for those buyers/sellers willing to take it, on MY dime, am I not improving the area by investing in the person? 

I am well aware my biggest mistake was getting my masters in English Comp.

Not reading a contract is no defense about the contents of the contract.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L%27Estrange_v_F_Gra...This is the basis in English Law, also used in the US, that signing something makes you party to the contract.

And to your follow-up point, English with accent is still English - while it may be a bit difficult to understand, it's never impossible as in the case of non-English speaker.So - is inability to communicate in English a protected class?  

Landlord denies application by saying one of the two adult applicants doesn't speak English well enough to enter into a legal contract.  

I just did a quick search and found Dallas County online court records: http://www.dallascounty.org/applications/english/r...

Our 4 tenants are immigrants and English is not their first language.We did not want to continue to pick up the rent for many reasons.We opened an account at a Bankm with a branch  very near them and asked them to bring their rent to the bank on the  1st of every month.
