Rent by the room - Weird vibes candidate

[Neal Royal]

Is it permissible to deny a candidate because the other tenants get “creeper vibes” from him?

I’m renting by the room and have the current tenants show the place. After I followed up with them, they said he gave “creeper vibes”. However, so long as his background check, references, and income requirements check out, I feel like it’s illegal to deny based upon the other tenants just not liking his vibes.

I don't think I would rent to anyone that gave the people living there "creeper vibes". He could really be a creep and you could lose good tenants cause no one wants to live with them. When in doubt, don't. I would look for someone else.
