Obama's threat to the nation's housing providers

Welcome murderers, rapists, and thieves as your tenants or you will face huge monetary penalties, the Obama administration said in a new threat aimed at the nation’s landlords.

Among convicted criminals, only drug dealers and drug manufacturers will be excluded from special protection as tenants under the administration’s novel interpretation of housing law.

...and when that criminal you were forced to rent to is busted for dealing or producing illegal drugs there, you can kiss your rental property good-bye.

Use of credit scores will become all the more entrenched.
And no one else will want to sign up as a landlord for Section 8 vouchers if they can’t exclude the truly violent.

And then get sued when the rapist rapes the woman living in the next apartment because you didn’t protect her. Its a win win for our Litigation Culture.

Being forced to rent to thugs who deal drugs and punch holes in the wall or have bullet holes is not the America I grew up in. There is no common sense, truth, or logic in this man. January 17, 2017 or the day Jesus comes back, whichever comes first, can’t get here fast enough.

Well, Obama just raised everyone's rent by about 50% to keep out the riff-raff.

My same theory on going to a good bar or pub. If the draft beer is less than $2.00, go somewhere else.

Basically anyone who is an owner/landlord will know, if you have a husband and wife or in todays world a boyfriend girlfriend with kids and you sign a lease with them in a particular northeast state they can squat in your house without paying rent for over 2 years or more, destroy the place, present to the court hardships, she is a mom not working her boyfriend left her with the kids(even though he is still living in the house with her) and the icing on the cake if they are minorities blakc and hispanic it is a done deal YOU LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSE!!!!!This is what the rats have wrought upon us!Now they are forcing the local governments in these nice areas to make available affordable housing for the drug dealers, gangbangers and crime. And you wonder why hillary’s first and only stop in NYC is Harlem?

As if that's going to make a difference here in Spring Hill, FL, aka PILL Hill.

If you own rental property, the only real way to rent it out safely is to rely on word-of-mouth from friends and relatives. NO advertising whatsoever.
