Re: Should employers & landlords be prohibited from asking applicants if they have a
Maybe someone has a job? Maybe someone has difficulty finding a job? Maybe instead of denying them residency because they haven't been paying their bills, you could take half an hour out of your day and figure out why they aren't paying the bills, maybe even point them towards a psychiatrist if they need one or a job if they need one? Then you get a tenant who trusts you, and you get the money that results from the tenant staying there. =) I know it's a crazy, unstable world out there, I'm not denying that. But maybe by helping a few people, you'll discover as I have that the world is only as crazy as you let it be. If everyone stopped twice, for a total of one hour, and asked someone who was homeless and/or jobless why, and tried to help them with their problem, I think that a lot of people would be surprised at how much improvement could be achieved. If that happened everyday, I think a lot of people would be very surprised at how many problems would mysteriously vanish overnight as people received the assistance they need. Or, you can keep judging people and banning them from the estate, as is your right, and we can just pretend like the problems in society don't affect us.
If someone has a history of not paying bills, including rent, then I very much have the right to know about it and make decisions to rent out accordingly.
