I'm going to dig into that when I get a minute.I do know that police (Town Level) are using medical marijuana as grounds to deny gun licenses citing the the Federal Law that states that if you use illegal drugs you are "restricted" from getting a gun license.

Hey, your property manager denied him. 

Also, if they have a restricted breed, and that would cause a hardship (if you'd lose your insurance because one of your tenants had a pit bull, for instance) then you can deny that animal. 

Do the parents get a key, heck yes, if they want one and are local, that is with the kid's permission which is never unreasonably denied (LOL).

We've had denied applicants scream at us that they can afford the place and just need a chance to prove it, and I'm guessing they really could make it work.  

Remind them of your application fee and that it won't be refunded if they are denied, too.Then, make an appointment with them. 

Let your first applicant be a protected class and apply when you jack the income requirement up to 4X and see what happens, it's sure going to look like you jacked the qualification up beyond reasonable and customary to deny them!!!

.), you can't deny them.I'd really try to get previous landlords to let you know if he's had any behavior issues. 

You just find something to deny the tenant on based on other factors like Sue mentioned etc.No legal advice given. 

Even though language is not a protected class HUD went after after a landlord that denied tenancy based on a language barrier.
