Can I have different screening guidelines for different areas?

I have read numerous times how important it is to have your screening guidelines clear and in writing and to stick to them. I understand that -- but is it possible to use different screening rules for different properties, assuming you stick to your system?

I ask because while I have some rentals in areas where I would like to use the 3x rent rule for income requirements, this would never work for a building I have in another area of town that is lower income.

@Matt Kowske it is reasonable to have different screening guidelines for different properties. Different locations have different needs. Just specify what property or properties your policy covers.
