Rental Discount for being Law Enforcement/Military
So was reading this little known book, "The Book on Managing Rental Properties" by this no name hack Brandon Turner... ;) And noticed in Chapter 4 it mentioned that military history is part of Washington's Fair Housing laws.... This got me to thinking, which is dangerous. If I were to invest in Washington does this mean I cannot offer discounts for someone who was a military vet in recognition of their service? I believe the answer is yes because it descriminates against those without military service, which is the flipside of the coin, but wanted to confirm.
TIA,
James

Why would you choose to offer discounts/charity for any reason other than to get a unit occupied. Charity is not warranted so if you want to show gratitude simply make a donation, and get a tax write off, to the charity of your choice. Military or police foundation should you choose.
Not a good idea to turn your business into a charity.
