Denying tenant if they don't have an email or are not tech savvy

[Brandon Taylor]

This is for a property in Covington, KY (right across Ohio river from Cincinnati, OH).

I find that many of my tenants/applicants are not tech savvy (don't know how to use email even).

Am I allowed to mandate that applicants apply with an email (through RentRedi, for example)?

I assume the answer has to be yes, because property management platforms require it. And I could just say that I welcomed all to apply and the applicants never applied.

Just want to confirm it. I couldn't find an explicit yes or no after searching online.

Thanks,

Brandon

I would be very careful here regarding tenant-landlord laws

I think it's reasonable to require all tenants to apply and pay rent via a platform like RentRedi, but I'd be careful of denying someone solely because they were offline

 Not knowing how to use an email isn't a protected class bro. He's gonna be fine. How the hell they even gonna complain anyway? Govt sites almost always require complaints to be made online lol.

 But it will likely have a disaparate impact on one of the federally protected classes....the elderly.
