Rejecting tenant on gut feeling?
7 April 2015 | 27 replies
I publish my qualifications and they are the same for everyone. there is no such law any where in the USA that you can get sued for rejecting a convicted felony or a eviction in the past you cannot reject for color, sex, sexual orientation or religion and so forth just make your rules clear and they apply for all and you never end up in court for such a thing. by the way you cant just tell them you just changed your mind that mean if you rent the apt to someone else any time over the next month your going to court to fight for a discrimination charge. make your own rules and stick with them for all.
