That is already the law in New Jersey with the exception of owner occupied properties with four or fewer units. You can’t discriminate based on any LEGAL source of income, and section 8 is legal. One way around it is to require a high minimum credit score of ALL applicants, but if you’re caught waiving it for the “right” tenant you can be hauled into court and fined.

I wonder what THE STATE WILL ALLOW in terms of the amount of security deposit that can be requested? One would hope the last months rent up front is on the table as well??
If you have to waive a credit check for the “right” tenant, then that tenant is all wrong. I know.
