Tip of the Month
August 2008

Discrimination is a serious issue. As you are looking for quality tenants, it is important to keep away from issues protected by the Fair Housing Laws. Under the Fair Housing Act it is illegal to refuse to rent to someone based on their race, color, creed, national origin, religion, sex, family status, or disabilities. Absolutely stay away from these issues when searching for tenants. I can tell you for a fact, none of these issues are determining factors on your tenant being a "good tenant" or a "bad tenant".
