Math is hard, eh?

Why not just not rent to people who have a history of doing X, or who are Y, assuming it is permissable to discriminate on those basis (i.e. Y!=black, Y=unemployed)?

You can't always find those things out. Did your new prospective tenant trash his last place? If his last landlord wasn't part of the reporting network, you'll never know. Is the new guy going to party loud until the weee hours? What, should I ask him? Can I kick him out if he does? Sure, after he causes me tons of trouble, pisses off my good tenants, and I have to pay to do the UD and store his crap and lose three months rent in that process. And, why do you assume that problem renters are black? I think you're racist.
