The horrors...oh the humanity...a landlord will rent to someone who won't cause problems and pay the rent on time.

Now this is correct, you pay or you don't live there.

Liberals do not like quality control.

Well yea...that leads to accountability and personal responsibility.

Landlords will just raise rent and make the requirements higher than the trash can reach and then pick some one that fits their real requirements and "cut them a deal".

Even simpler. The best tenants are the ones that you are referred to by your current or previous (nondelinquent) tenants. Just keep the property empty until then; a bad tenant, especially in places like Seattle, will probably cost you more money than you would have lost keeping it empty.
This ban isn't going to hold.

Well there goes my dream of an all tranny lesbian midget apartment complex.

It's going to go the same way as hiring. We don't post positions any more and only hire based on internal referral.
Same with rentals now, I guess. You're going to have to know someone that can vouch for you.
[–] Omnipresent 0 points 1 point 1 point (+1|-0) ago
Internal referral is already preferred when renting. This will just make it a lot worse; just leave the home empty and unlisted until someone you trust knows a guy.

The screening is to check the credit rating of a potential renter. Bad rating usually means people who don't pay the rent. Seattle will begin melting down due to liberals gone wild.

You know how I know you haven't been paying attention the last 20 years?

A guy I knew was sitting in a mall in Seattle with his right ankle resting on his left knee. An arabic man came up to him and angrily announced " In my country it is insult to show the bottom of your shoe!". My guy shoved his foot at the guy and replied "we're not in your fucking country!".

because the liberal government wants population replacement. They want to commit genocide but lack the balls and the fortitude to actually carry it out. Limp wristed cowards.

Another guy I worked with was walking down a Seattle street. he finished a can of coke and threw it in a trash can. he finished a cigaret and threw it in the gutter. A hippie came up and bitched at him for not recycling and for smoking!
