To the commenter who accused the author of the article of being ignorant to fair housing laws:

It is you who is ignorant to fair housing laws. It is illegal to charge different rental rates to different people ONLY if that discrimination is based on a protected class. Some examples of protected classes are race, gender, nationality and religion. Some jurisdictions also protect other classes such as age and sexual orientation.

Distinguishing between renters based on on specific behaviors (e.g. not paying rent on time, damaging property) that are not protected classes is perfectly acceptable under the law.
