New written criteria... not responding or renting to people who ask for showings using 4?’s... hot mess like my last outgoing tenant or no respect from potential tenant. I really had to bite my tongue since I wanted to respond... never!!!!

Yes that's far too much punctuation. I dont respond or rent to people who say "I seen your..." Nope. Just won't do it. --172.58.xx.x

Instant rejection when it is someone who you showed a property to and then they did not fulfill their end of the bargain. A month later they contact me again about another property. This is after they do the "I'll have my lawyer contact you" and the ever popular "you need to read up on Landlord tenant laws" comment. Yep, that's gonna get you in one of my places. --24.233.xxx.xx

I don't see anything in any landlord law that makes people who use multiple question marks a protected class. So, as long as you put that into your written criteria, you should be good.

Be careful, though. HUD is likely to declare that refusing to rent to people who can't use proper punctuation to be racist. --98.146.xxx.xxx

Send em my way! That's normal texting punctuation, normal grammer (anyone listen to call in shows?) and Bless You is everyday talk in Indianer.

My children's professors used 'SEEN' and 'ME AND MY STUDENTS' at Purdue University Parents Day.

PS

I hope the post was just a rant not a policy.

Blocking their calls or ignoring their inquiry could easily trigger a Fair Housing investigation.

And remember there are paid testers trying to trip you up. Indiana Fair Housing Committee is runnig an ad to hire testers. This ???? person(s) might be a tester monitoring your response and building a case against you.

"Everyone is welcome to apply" should be the standard answer.

God Bless!

The testers are going strong here in CLE, they don't return applications so it is hard for me to approve them or get paid - well sir the application is the very first step )but can't I just move in after giving you the money?( Uh not really )Oh that sounds like discrimination and I am recording this call(, I am glad you are recording so you can replay this as often as you like - it is discrimination against all of my previous applicants who may or may not be tenants... --76.188.xxx.xx
