Would you rent to a sex offender if the offense was a 17 with a 15 year old ?

That situation is one of the atrocities of our legal system and the registered sex offender requirements.  Meanwhile, actual predators go free or fly under the radar.

With that said...IF you can verify the details of the case and assure that what you've described were the actual charge, then yes.  I would absolutely rent to them.

I would not punish someone for something that wouldn't have even been a crime in at least 1/2 the other states.
