We’ve rented to a couple law students and lawyers. One was a great tenant. The others were massive Karens who delighted in being as difficult as possible purely for the sake of showing you they know they have the right to be a pain in the ass. So I could imagine a landlord getting fed up with them.

But it could also be something totally different than you are all imagining. If a Judge or law professor owned an apartment they might be trying to avoid potential conflicts of interest.

Hopefully everyone wondering about this makes it down to this comment. This is what landlords around here are actually worried about when they’re trying to ward off law professionals as tenants

I don't think this would create a conflict. We've had judges that had to recuse themselves from certain cases due to a conflict and it just gets sent to a different judge. If it was student and they were renting from a professor they could probably take a different class if it ended up being their professor. I think the chances would be small though.
