The protected classes are for things like race religion, sex, etc., not for ignorant and stupid.

Jermaine here I would try the embarrassment tangle, just have a talk with the downstairs tenants, would sound like this.The people upstairs are still complaining of loud sex noise, wow how loud are you guys I don't believe you guys are as loud as thay say, are you?

There's one for sex offenders too.I also doubt that ex cons are so sophisticated that they're suing landlords for denying them based on their crimes.

In the Sale and Rental of Housing: No one may take any of the following actions based on race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status or handicap:Refuse to rent or sell housingRefuse to negotiate for housingMake housing unavailableDeny a dwellingSet different terms, conditions or privileges for sale or rental of a dwellingProvide different housing services or facilitiesFalsely deny that housing is available for inspection, sale, or rentalFor profit, persuade owners to sell or rent (blockbusting) orDeny anyone access to or membership in a facility or service (such as a multiple listing service) related to the sale or rental of housing.That's my highlight on familial status.

I have a felony, I'm on the sex offender registry (downloading child porn) and I broke my lease (when I went to prison).

“Good quality” is determined by the attributes that you listed above and not by race, color, national origin, religion, sex, familial status, age, or disability.4.If there was a service that provided a list of good quality tenants looking for housing, would you be interested in having access to that service and soliciting those tenants?

They won't have sex until married and apparently don't stop once they do wed!

If you find the rents are really 900 on the low end base your rents on 750 to 800 a unit.The reason for this is you want QUICK lease up to generate cash flow as you rehab and go along.If you try to charge top rent it takes longer to get tenants and turn over is more because if people lose income they want to down size or move to save money.At a cheaper rent you will get many more applications.You can then sift and sort the best possible tenants to sign up (no sex offenders,pit bulls,felony convictions,judgements and evictions,meets 3 time rent ratio for income,etc.

Screening the sex offender registry (using applicant's personal information, etc.) isn't legally required that I'm aware of, but many landlords have this policy in place.

Last one left me a large box of self help tapes (ironic), how to improve your sex life dvds(yuk) , and a new sofa(sold on craigs list...thank you).
