That’s the problem, the city not the landlord decides on who is “qualified.”
“Before accepting a prospective renters application materials, a landlord will need to provide the renter with information on the landlords minimum screening criteria, Kranzler said.”
In NYC, an income of 40 times the monthly rent is often required. For a $2000 a month apartment, that would be $80K.
I bet the city chooses the muslims with hijabs and shifty eyes as qualified, over the American-pie looking white family with adorable kids - now that's the bias and discrimination going on in liberal circles in Seattle.
