I've run into a few of these where probate dragged on for months and months then all of a sudden it was approved and everyone was racing to close. 

Once went into a rental where the tenant had three mini horses in the dining room.

there are Fair Housing categories/protected classes you need to steer clear of, such as familial status, disability, race, religion etc.  

Basically, your policy has to have a reason for saying no to criminal offenses, and your policy can't be more discriminatory towards one race than another.The document says that discriminating against criminals can be harder on blacks and hispanics than other races.  

Well this topic can get off the tracks quickly.I think section 8 no matter the race should have heavy standards imposed upon them including drug screening.We need to have section 8 for those who truly need help and to ferret out those who are lazy and working the system for minimal effort and requirements of themselves in society.By not having standards and checks the government is allowing the system to be abused and not function at the highest level of efficiency of what it was intended to be used for.

No evictions.No references from relatives - as their landlord or personal referenceMust have an ID that didn't get lost in the mail (LOL, I loved this one)You'll also find that applicants will pull themselves out of the race, too, when you start probing - like yours did.  

I recognize this is an old thread, but hopefully my input will help someone.I was a professional race car mechanic and all around 'car guy' until one day something clicked and I realized I was spending over half of my earned income buying parts to make my car go faster.  

(Race is relevant because I'm white, and there's a well-publicized issue in Portland right now with gentrification and displacement due to rising housing costs.)  

Dogs, cats, pigs, chickens, cows horses, none of these animals take responsibility for their actions yet for some reason dogs and cats are OK.

All garbage disposals we use are 3/4 horse power, these units cost 3x what a basic one costs but they run trouble free forever and don't need maintenance because they are so powerful.
