I look at more commercial leases than residential these days, but I'd consider all these to be defaults. Which was my intention, anyway, as a point of clarity.

But your argument ultimately collapses on itself. You say S.8 recipients are more likely to do X, or be Y, but then admit that not all, or even most, recipients fall into any of these undesirable categories. Why not just not rent to people who have a history of doing X, or who are Y, assuming it is permissable to discriminate on those basis (i.e. Y!=black, Y=unemployed)?
