sounds like an invitation to get sued trying to pick a fight with lawyers.

like, even if careers aren't protected class, they'll find something else to nitpick on as a basis to go after the lister.

at the end of the day, i don't get why the owner would even care who's renting as long as they're

  1. paying their rent on time
  2. not damaging the property
  3. not doing anything illegal that's going to cause problems for the landlord

I think the idea is if they are a lawyer and they don't adhere to rules #1-3 then the ensuing litigation or whatever is going to be much more of a pain

I guess that makes sense, but what are the odds of a lawyer not following poi ts 1-3? Seems like something that would hurt their own professional reputation and career.

In theory, but in practice, the bar association PROBABLY isn't going to discipline them for being a deadbeat or a tenant from hell unless they either do something that makes the news or piss someone important off. The light most favorable to the landlord here is that they previously had a lawyer tenant who was an absolute nightmare and then did everything in their power to drag out the eviction process and fight a war of attrition.

The landlord cares if their tenants are lawyers because they're doing illegal shit and don't want anyone to call them on it.
