If you forget to send an application by email to someone who requests it, can that be considered discrimination? --172.58.xxx.xx

You shoud send it if this is how you operate, getting it back without payment is another part of the race. --76.188.xxx.xx

Not treating each prospect the same or not providing access to an app is discrimination.

“Forgetting” will not save you.

That depends. What is your normal process? We normally don't email applications, we have applications available at the showing. If someone asked us to email an application, we would prescreen them and offer a showing. To us, it doesn't make much sense to have someone apply to a rental they haven't even looked at. If it isn't your normal process to email applications, then it is understandable that you might forget to email one after a request. --208.74.xxx.xxx

I don't give anyone an application unless they're willing to fill it out there and then,and no application fee.the only fee is for the Credit Check,and that is after they have inspected the unit and are interested in living there...... Charlie...... ..... .... .. . ...... .. --174.199.xx.xxx

Is forgetting to send an app discrimination? No.

But might it LOOK like discrimination if you happened to forget to send it to a protected class? Absolutely.

You need to avoid even the appearance of illegal discrimination. That's the real problem.

Like Cat, I do not email applications. I have them available at the showings.

When someone insists on getting an application without having seen the place, I get a bit more cautious. Why would someone pay an application fee without first seeing the place? I have had someone explain that she needs time to put the information together, so she wants the app in advance and will hand it in if she likes the place at the time of the showing. Makes sense, but I still do not want to give it out before showing the place.

Mike45, I give out an app through email, only if the pre-screen gets to a point where they ask about it or the process, then I offer it. Some ask to have it snail mailed, so I oblige. Never hear back from those folks.

I don't collect an app fee until I get the app back.

Most folks get an app at the showing.

We have apps on the yard sign and online.

We START with the app - before giving out the lockbox code.

We also have them at Open Houses.

I don't see or talk to a prospective tenant until they answer my pre-screening questions. If they do (most don't) we move on to showing the apartment. If they request an app I will send it to them but I'm not doing anything with it until they see the space and want to turn it in. --50.82.xxx.xx

To clarify,

If you promised to send an app and did not you could accused of discrimination. If you rent to someone else before providing the app they could make a case against you.
