APPLICANTS YOU WON"T RENT TO.

Posted

Aside from the usual, human rights and discrimination aside, are there those type or class of applicant that you will not even consider renting to. Excluding the obvious such as criminals, those with pets or children etc based on your specific property type. 

Off the top of my head and keeping in mind that we all have standards that may not be strictly legal would you reject some of these :

Neck and facial tattoos, single guys, recently separated women, single mothers, welfare, restaurant workers, nationalities know to cook offensive smelling food, smokers, low income immigrants, bikers, tattoo artists, recreational drug users, prostitutes. others.

Or based on human rights laws etc. is everyone welcome as long as they pass basic screening standards.

 How do you feel about intermixing these types into a multi unit environment.

Whoa, whoa, whoa! Are Canadians even allowed to disagree in public!? Isn't that against the law too? Because it sure sounds like everything else is. 

I read all of these regulations very simply: Don't be a real estate investor in Canada.
