Imo being able to choose your clients/guests (they pay you after all) however you like is immoral and it would be illegal if it was done from a hotel/ apartment rental company ... (at least in a lot of European countries). You should not be able to profile your customers in any way. If you dont like it, dont make money out of your apartment.

EXACTLY. Simply imagine Holiday Inn or Hilton demanding we verify ourselves before renting a room. Who among you would defend them?
Um... they kinda do. You either need to provide a credit card or large cash deposit (if that's even possible anymore). Very often they will also require to see your driver's license. If you're foreign, you'll need to let them copy your passport too.
I cant speak for your country/experience , but as in Greece you have to verify yourself :)
