I worked for a property management company as the fix it guy for a lot of years.

Fixing it also meant dealing with problem renters. I still say today in my business that if you are talking to me you're a problem.

I found that white people presented the worst problems. It may have been a numbers game, but no matter how I sorted it out, it was white people that talked about lawyers, didn't pay, trashed the place, and wouldn't call when there was a problem.

One time we had this lady of color come in who just fit a really ugly stereotype,

what did her color have to do with her being a bad rental prospect? so yeah... racist... means seeing people as different based on race...

Only your reading comprehension Robert, only that.

robertoaribas says

YOU felt the need to mention she was a lady of color, so that was apparently an important distinction in making her less fit to rent to...

Being black isn't a crime, it's a description if a shoe fits. And the only nit pickers are those politically correct lying their ass off liberal sissies seeking a career in public office.

liberal sissies

Hurray for Liberal Sissies!

It's not a given that a rental is governed by federal fair housing laws or corresponding state laws. Many rentals are exempt, such as small owner occupied buildings, some single family housing, etc. State law of course varies from state to state.

I'm surprised somebody who owns several rental properties isn't aware of this.
