no, i'm not interested in discriminating against folks based on race/color/nationality/national origin/religion/sex/disability; whether under my own primary residence's roof nor any clients' but actually bewildered that such a detailed act would point out 'race' 'color' and 'nationality' or 'national origin' but not touch upon ethnicity; same for 'sex' but not even touch upon gender identity or orientation.. at least at the federal level.and likewise, what about language?

I have a bunch of tenants.I will tell you what I tell my property manager.Do not get over involved in tenants problems and lives.Simply collect the rent and handle repairs and make sure the tenants are in compliance with the terms of the lease.I am very picky in who I allow to rent in my buildings.I turn down about 3 to 4 out of every 5 applicants.No pit bulls,aggressive breeds of animals,sex offenders,felony offenders,drugs,loud parties,unclean tenants,evictions from other apartments,no smoking inside of the units,etc.I go through this the first time I meet a potential tenant before I say anything else.The deadbeats leave real quick and the good ones like that I do that upfront and want to apply for a unit.You should have researched the tenants on the lease way before closing on this property.At the least it would have given you leverage to drive down the price further to take on a bigger problem.A good deal is only relative to the problems you take on when purchasing.Do not kid yourself on the drug dealing.If they grow pot,smoke meth,etc. the costs to remediate the units after you get them out can put you under.Just go talk to the sheriffs department about drug damaged units.Did you pull a criminal report for the area before buying??
