Color or religion doesn’t matter to 99.99 percent of landlords Landlords want solid tenants.

I don't charge and I feel that the more info I give them the more it will influence responses, so this is what I use on page 1 of the application: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 accurate where there is no 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.Criminal activity is at our discretion depending on severity, number of convictions, and how long ago.Our Philosophy:We strive to provide affordable, clean, and safe housing, be fair with repairs, and improve the Highlands neighborhood.

Dale Carnegie wrote a book called "How to win friends and influence people" If you want to be an aggressive prick or sleazy salesman, I would insist you sell cars instead.How to build rapport… Talk about their family, talk about their job, talk about their hobbies, but stay away from religion and politics and sex.

HI Josh, Good question the 7 Classes are as follows:•Race•Color•Religion•National Origin•Sex•Disability•Familial StatusThe one that is possibly coming down the pipeline we were told at the last Fair Housing informative session is "Financial Status".

@Ned CareyI crossed my references, sorry - - it's a Fair Housing Regulation:Fair Housing Laws prohibitdiscrimination based on: - Race or Color- National Origin or Ancestry- Religion- Sex- Sexual Orientation- Marital Status- Age / Familial Status (havingchildren or being pregnant)- Mental or Physical Disability- Source of IncomeWhat actions are prohibited?

You were not fired for a protected reason like race, sex, religion, etc. 

How else can you explain religion :-)

They may press you for what the reason was, but just don't give them anything they could use against you (this goes for any tenant for any reason).You can discriminate on the basis of nearly everything (other than the "duh" stuff like race, religion, age, martial status, disability etc).  

Many times it is used in a religious context and one could argue that real estate is a religion and the gurus are the many varied ministers asking for contributions to their "ministries" lol.  

I have been rebuilding recently my credit is increasing pretty fast as I financed the purchase Although it's against my religion because the previous car was paid off.
