Amanda H. Can I be forced to accept Section 8?
2 August 2019 | 154 replies
Besides, offering below market rent  this hot area tends to attract more applicants; this also allows me to better discriminate against all kinds of non-protected individuals including those with bad teeth, crooked gaits, sassy attitudes, the overly inquisitive, and those with otherwise nebulous  personality traits and idiosyncrasy's that I find off-putting.

And I can tell you that a non-smoker who is sensitive, who comes to view your unit will absolutely smell that smell, even if you have cleaned and painted. 
Justin H. Student Rental House: 2 units - a family with kids wants one unit ...
22 April 2015 | 13 replies
Not that I am into that side of things as I have a property manager, however I have heard of others using it.legally, wouldnt 'play' with excuses to discriminate (ie, telling families their reference check didn't clear meanwhile 'preferring' studens for the unit or house) unless there was a bona-fide loophole to do so (ie, a statute allowing for an owner to Prefer Students for their Rental House because the owner is also a student living in the house). that's simply a risk i would not want to take unless i had a legit, legal reason for preferring students over any other family status for my rental house. labelling a rental property as 'Student Rental House' could have repercussions if not planned legally; ie back in college i stayed in 'Student Housing' but it was Off-Campus Housing OWNED by the university; i've never come across 'Student Housing' rentals unless it was a frat/sorority house or one owned or officially associated with local educational institutions. would love to see a loophole in your jurisdicton that allows for independent rental unit(s) to be dedicated to specifically students. ie, u could make a strong argument that for a 2 family house, the students in one unit might seem too noisy for a quiet, sensitive elderly coulple already living right below or smack next to them - or vice versa.good luck and by the way i do like the idea of what you are doing: at least considering mixed housing although yea there could be a conflict of interest and perhaps that could be your argument for preferring students since students might party often as compared to say, elderly families i guess?
Max T. Are my pre-screening questions a turn-off and/or unkind/impersonal?
23 April 2015 | 17 replies
.#5 should be more of a statement, something like 'Each Adult will pay a $25 application fee'I would guess that the woman either doesn't want to pay a fee, or she doesn't want to have to reveal some information that is sensitive to her.

Stacie Meeker Rental Property caught on Fire
16 June 2015 | 8 replies
This is just an example, but what I let my clients know is, if I recommend something it's not to pad the premium, but because it's a real exposure they may face, and given my past, extensive claims background, I am more sensitive to what losses ACTUALLY costs than a lot of others in my field.

Renita Boree Service dogs

@Renita BoreeAfter our latest round with schools and doctors, I'm beginning to think every sensitive child with a bit of spirit in North America is labelled to have ADD or Aspergers these days.Up here "service animals" - which are predominately dogs - are to be trained and to have a temperament certification which distinguishes them from a "companion animal".
