Heidi Harris Show Podcast #215: Discernment isn’t discrimination when choosing tenants

The Democrat controlled Clark County Commission (which is where Las Vegas is) recently voted to prevent “discrimination” by landlords when choosing tenants. Property owners should have a right to “discern” whether or not a tenant will be able to pay long term if an unemployed person rents and their benefits run out. That’s not the same as refusing to rent to someone of a certain race. That is the definition of “discrimination”.

Passage of this bill will ultimately reduce the number of rentals available, as landlords will choose to sell their properties in a seller’s market, rather than have tenants living there for free.
