Listing my first unit

[Maya Jones]

Hi Chicago landlords, 

I am about to list my first unit for rent. I am studying the apartment.com listings and nobody lists on their description the qualifications for acceptance of a tenant. 
I read Brandon Turner's book and he uses prequalification. But should we not publish these on the listing? How does one stay compliant and document that you are using the same criteria for everyone? 
Or is this an internal documentation? Or something you say over the phone/email when tenants contact you? 
TIA

I always list the qualifications in my posting.

i also have a prescreening questionaire that they have to submit before they book a tour. Weeds a lot of people out. 

Here are mine:
