Yesterday's Trib Q&A reminds renters and landlords alike that you're likely to muck up a transaction by involving social media. Like with every other type of candidacy, if you're a tenant up for an apartment, you're life is under review. Best not to rant about your mid-week boozing habits on your facebook page. Of course, landlords form prejudices over more sensitive matters like politics and religion. They shouldn't, but as long as things like facebook provide shortcuts to informed decision-making, they will. [Trib]
