Probably not, but should they be forced to hire or let these people move into their property? You seem to think they should be forced to.
I want to believe that everyone should be free to hire or rent to whom ever they want, but that leads to some groups not getting a fair chance. However some of these groups cause the problems for others of that same group.
When you have a small business, you want to hire someone who is not going to cause your business problems. As such, they chose not to hire people of a younger age, or sex, because they have had issues with such people not showing up to work. But to come out and say such a thing is not politically correct. Is it wrong? Perhaps, but often it may end up being a good practice, based on experience.
