Landlord refuse to rent to those with tattoos and piercings

Some San Antonio apartment complexes are refusing to rent to people with tattoos and body piercings.Owner of one of these apartment complexes, Edward Frankel, states they do, in fact, "reject prospective tenants who have... tattoos exposed on the neck, head, hands and wrists, or large tattoos that cover over 40% of the lower or upper arm."

Frankel says, "We do not discriminate. The above applies to persons of any race, color, gender, etc." Frankel, and his partners, have purchased numerous upscale apartment complexes in San Antonio and Dallas, where they've also banned pierced eyebrows and tongues.
