Reply to comment by Silentarrowz in NYC tenants report rampant housing discrimination by landlords over vouchers by DrogDrill

Its called the free market. Would you want a job where you have to jump through hoops and nonsense to get paid? Or would you settlle on another job doing the same work and making the same amount without all the bullshit?

It's called a legal obligation. I know landlords only like using that word when it comes to things that benefit them, but in some cases renters do in fact have rights, and you are in fact legally obligated to abide by them. If you get 400 applicants and decide to take someone with higher income that's one thing. If you do what a lot of landlords do and keep properties posted until they find someone with a preset income threshold and refuse to even consider voucher tenants? Scum of the earth.
