Rejecting applicants based on an "all entries" approach to their criminal background could be considered arbitrary discrimination. To stay on the right side of the law, you must show that the past crime affects the applicant's ability to meet the tenancy obligations or presents a direct threat to the health and safety of other residents.
"Individuals like you who have successfully completed a drug treatment program are protected under the disability provisions of the Fair Housing Act. This means that a landlord cannot refuse to rent to you solely because of a history of drug addiction, since you are in recovery. Your history of abusing drugs in the past may not be an accurate measure of your current ability to be a good tenant."
经理是薯老爷从UTAH空降到那里的。经理是个脾气不错的人，但是有时候不会转弯。之所以派他去是因为他从来不偷钱，人品绝对好。
临行前薯老爷跟他叮嘱了反歧视法的要点。作为保险措施，薯老爷跟他说刚开始的几个月，所有paperwork审批之类由盐湖城负责，你只管show房子。
还是差点出事。一天一个黑女造访办公室跟他说要租一卧的单位。他回答说没有。第二天一个白男造访办公室要求租房。经理问他要多大的房子。白男说一卧两卧吧。经理跟他show了几个二卧的。白男很感兴趣说我想申请二卧的，交了钱。盐湖城办公室做了审核后告知经理可租。经理即通知白男来签合同。白男如约签字并付了定金加租金。取得了合同复印件白男离开了办公室。经理送他出去的时候，一个黑人房客从大门进来跟经理打招呼。白男说这是这里的房客？经理说是。白男问这里黑人房客多吗？经理回答有3家。白男离开。
那天下班前白男又来到办公室跟经理说他其实是政府反歧视部门的人员，以前那个黑女也是。经过研究政府认为经理没有触犯歧视法。case closed。经理遂退回白男定金租金。
薯老爷听说后问经理，黑女来的时候你为什么说没有？经理说因为我们没有一卧的了呀。
呵呵。
有人来看房子，前脚走后脚群众检举就来了，说这家人吸毒声誉太差，在本村从一个地方被赶到另一个地方。
本人当即通知他们不租给他们。他们去找政府，相应部门有个女的来电话，责问我为什么不租给他们， 还说是不是要按什么公平住宅法调查一下。这女的显然是个白左，住好区没吃过这些人的苦头。
本人回答说，这家人有吸毒问题，邻居认识他们说不要招他们进来，本村警察也说他们经常惹麻烦（此处不免撒个小谎，此时此刻本人还没去问过警察，不过要是我真去找警察他们会说这个话）
那女的啊了一声就再没话了。
且application 阶段有关岐视的官司保险是不保的。（租约开始有岐视的会受理）
在这里也提醒下大家关于服务犬的：
1.房东是没有权力问拿所谓的证书之类的。但可要求出示证据证明此犬为服务犬的证明，但这个证明的界线在哪里额是还没摸到。
2.申請時，关于服务犬的，房东只可以问2个问题：1.Is the dog a service animal because of a disability? 2.What work or task has the dog been trained to perform?
3.Emotional animal 是可以问医生证明的。
4.所以遇到有服务犬的，尽量避开这个据绝理由，搞不好会踩地雷的。
