Tenant discrimination is good. Wow, talk about a hot button issue in the property management business. It's true though, good tenant screening requires the property manager to engage in denying tenants based upon landlord discrimination. As landlords and property managers we should be discriminating against tenants every single day.  When a landlord is screening tenants for rental property the landlord's job is to discriminate tenants. At HoltonWise we discriminate tenants every single day, that is our job as a property manager when we are screening tenants for landlords who have hired us to manager their rental properties. The caveat to this pro tenant discrimination stance is that there are legal forms of tenant discrimination as well as illegal forms of tenant discrimination. Landlords should never engage in housing discrimination that violates fair housing laws. A fair housing violation is bad news. Following the fair housing act is a must for property tenant screening. Understanding the fair housing act will allow a landlord to learn how to avoid a discrimination lawsuit when screening tenants for rental property. In the 18th episode of The Ask James Wise Show James Wise answers a question that was sent in to HoltonWiseTV from a new real estate investor. The question is as follows "What do you think of single parents with large number of children, morbidly obese people with mobility problem, terminally ill or mental patients, gang members, people with friends moving in "for a few days?" James Wise goes on to explain the differences between legal and illegal discrimination. James Wise continues with why following all applicable fair housing laws is very important, but does not mean real estate investors should not engage in legal tenant screening discrimination during their tenant screening process.
