<p>[QUOTE=&quot;JCro57, post: 3269682, member: 92083&quot;]No disrespect here at all, but absolutely nothing in that paragraph is inaccurate. I do not have to accept a Section 8 tenant even if they are the only one who applies. For some reason, you seem to assume I come out and say or at least imply that someone can therefore say, &quot;Sorry, you are Section 8. Although you qualify for all conditions I set forth, the fact that you are Section 8 is grounds for refusal.&quot; No. But if Section 8 says they will cover only $775 of the $950, then I can refuse them. If Section 8 does not cover the $2,700 security deposit, I can refuse them. So far, my statement is not inaccurate and well within the law. You are making an assumption that the only reason I refuse them is that they are Section 8 even if they qualify otherwise.</p><p><br /></p><p>I am legally allowed as a landlord to refuse pets of any kind (except service dogs; I can refuse therapy dogs), including a single goldfish with a tank the size of a mug. That&#039;s not inaccurate either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Therapy dogs can be denied access to places that refuse entry to pets. &quot;Therapy&quot; dogs are not &quot;service&quot; dogs, and thus are not covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act. That&#039;s not inaccurate either.</p><p><br /></p><p>Airlines have won judgements allowing them to charge two tickets to fat people. Not inaccurate.</p><p><br /></p><p>Convicted felons can legally be refused employment for many jobs simply based on their criminal record regardless of the crime. You can even be refused for dishonorable discharges from the military, and even for bad credit and bad driving records. No idea why you think that is inaccurate. It&#039;s not.</p><p><br /></p><p>My best friend and brother-in-law is a dentist in Buffalo. If someone wants a crown replaced or a filling replaced that fell out, he asks directly how they are going to pay for it. He can legally demand money up front and refuse them if they can&#039;t pay. If it is not emergency care (someone got shot in the mouth, for example), he has no obligation to do work for people. He can also refuse to accept Medicaid as a form of payment and tells them that directly. It is even on his door to his office. Not inaccurate. He can also refuse Medicare, but he accepts that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Telling me state and local laws are different in different places is beyond obvious. Who doesn&#039;t know that?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
