Imagine not renting a room to someone because they are homeless.

You can thank other homeless people for ruining it for the homeless who want to rent rooms and are not all strung out on drugs. The problem in the past for some of these places is that they have rented to a homeless person and next thing they know there is 10 of them in the room, the room is damaged & trashed, and they lose money due to the damages and cleaning.
You know how people say that one person ruined it for everyone else? Well, that is the case for many of the motels/hotels.
I had to get a room one night due to escaping an abusive husband, and the only place that would rent to me was Motel 6. You want to know why I was told no at several other places? Because they didn't want to deal with an abusive man showing up and attacking me. Why because they have dealt with it before and it was a pain in the butt.

It's not other homeless people it's Crack heads and college/high school kids having hotel parties. And hotels denying you in your situation absolutely had a right to do that as much as it sucks. They have an obligation to protect employees

I completely understood why, and that is why you don't see me blasting them on here.

They’re are different types of homeless. Unfortunately, some are prone to causing massive damage to rooms or stealing.

Ok, would you rent a room to someone that's strung out and doesn't give 2 shits about anything but their wants? Someone that will show zero respect to your property? Someone that will smoke inside, leave excrement on the floor and dirty needles everywhere? I bet not.

Of course I wouldn’t, is every homeless person strung out and careless with the property of others ? Get ahold of yourself
