A Landlord may not discriminate for any reason because of age, race, familia status, religion, handicap, or sex. You must treat all applications the same, ie same deposit, same credit checks etc. If you don't and get checked by a checker you stand a good chance of losing the property and possibly much more. So any person over 19 years and 1 day may in fact live here up to the percentage required by law. It is the Landlords responsibility to treat every applicant exactly the same. The Fair Housing people do use checkers and set up stings, by sending multiple applicants to apply for the same property. It is also the Landlords responsibility to collect and pay sales tax if the property is rented for less than six months and 1 day.
