Explanation
Language like 'executives and professionals preferred' can signal discrimination based on income source (preferring W-2 employees over others), and may have discriminatory connotations related to national origin or other protected classes. Under the Fair Housing Act and Minnesota Human Rights Act, advertising must be inclusive. Neutral language focusing on lease terms and requirements is appropriate.
