You can be firm while still being fair and humane.

Usually, an abandoned property is quite derelict and unfit for human habitation.   

That would be the humane and decent thing to do if you really want to do right by him, if you chose to invest in this tenant.

And I was Gen X (as you can tell by my dated references) and these were Baby Boomers, raised to be absolutely certain that they were the most important generation in the history of civilization, certain that we were nothing but human garbage.Since that time, I've put a few pushy boomers in their places when I felt they deserved it.

No code states that a landlord must give preferential treatment to any protected class.Our human rights laws up here are very similar and the fact is that discrimination is impossible to prove if a landlord is diligent in maintaining their screening standards.  

I pulled her file and discovered that the form I require for dogs in my properties had not been completed by a Vet and did not state that the dog was not aggressive toward humans. 

Being a landlord is a real eye opener into learning the worst about human nature. 

And it's up to the human to clean their cages, and they may not do it regularly.So, guinea pigs are not better than dogs or cats, in my opinion, and may, in fact, be worse.Although, the same is true for cats that I mention above.  

Therefore, an examination would be fruitless.No - See first two questions.Bear in mind that rabies in humans is rare and most bats don't carry the disease.

Rent prep seems to be good in many of the tenant checks and I like the human touch they use.
