<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">As to questions two and three, it may be impractical to enforce because the practice would have to be applied to all applicants equally so that one day when someone in a protected class claims
discrimination there is a plausible defense. Also, because it will must be a voluntary criteria, will denial to allow inspection be an automatic disqualification? That seems problematic.

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">I got a strange (or maybe not so strange) question from a Landlord client of mine. Landlord is asking if they can require a prospective tenant to allow them
to come visit the tenant's current home before approving them to rent? The idea is if they are excessively dirty or messy and do not take care of their current place of residence, that they will likely do the same in the future. As I write this out, it does
sound reasonable since people do tend to live a certain way no matter where they live.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif;color:black">Anyhow, the questions are: (1) Has anyone ever heard of a Landlord doing this? (2) Is it legal? (3) Would denying someone a rental because they live dirty be
any type of housing violation?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
