+ no smokers, drug addicts etc.
No DSS is because you are unlikely to get the rent paid, they will give a tenant with addiction issues or no money the rent payment direct. The landlord won't see it. 6-12 months later they are evicted for not paying rent.
During the roll out of Universal credit many tenants with issues were on payment to Landlord, UC reset it to direct to tenant that one change resulted in many tenants being evicted for non payment of rent. Also Councils & similar randomly withhold payment for months without sanction.
Affordability test - sorry you need to pay rent that is sort of the deal.
Professionals only - their employment history is less patchy normally. You get your rent paid.
Add that many sub cultures with difficult personal relationships may mean you will be assaulted by their violent boyfriend.
No pets - you get doors gnawed and wood scratched. If you are lucky they actually make them poo & piss outside, the fellow tenants are kept awake by barking all the time. The neighbour who feeds the birds will have a trail of corpses by their patio door. How will a new tenant with a cat/dog allergy be able to live in the house afterwards?
I suspect your work have 'no smelly food' restrictions in the rest room. Its put in a discriminatory way by Mr Wilson.However if you have ever smelt a room imbued with the scent of years of African goat or fish curry, rotten rice, other variants of curry or some of the more exotic food choices tenants cook whilst sealing the room and turning up the heating then you need to replace most of the furnishings and repaint. Its frequently worse than smoking.
If the tenant using your service costs you more than a non smoking, celibate, pet, pacifist free dentist why would you take them over the ideal?
Landlords rent housing as a business, the government & tenants want to see it as branch of social services. If it continues all those BTLs will be sold off at top dollar and no one will be able to rent except from large or corrupt organisations. How do you like them apples?
