I have room at my house if all else fails.
Another example of people making a moral judgement where they have no business doing so.
I thought it was against FR policy to post this kind of thread without pictures.
Okay, okay, I'll say it, and get it over with...
Pics?
Yeah, but was she hot?
What landlord wants the rent paid with a pile of one dollar bills folded lengthwise? 8^)
I think he was just concerned about the fact that she would be paying her rent in $1.00 bills...
No justice, no piece!
In my younger days I worked as a bouncer in a couple of places that had 'dancers'
I cannot remember one that wouldnt sell it or at least rent it...and I dont remember any that werent into drugs at some level...
The kinds of people 'dancers' will bring around arent going to be appreciated by law enforcement (or at least should'nt be) or any decent tenents
Property owners should have final say so in who they rent their property to...not the state
and certainly not liberals
imo
I don't know about the Nebraska EOC, but it certainly isn't covered under the Federal Housing Act. Under that, you can't discriminate for race, color, national origin, sex, familial status, religion, and handicap.
As a former property manager, we rented to several "dancers", and they were always quiet and paid their rent on time. I'd rent to them any time.
The word 'discriminate' is interesting. In its broadest sense it simply means to recoginze the difference between two things. If you have discriminating taste in wine it really means you know one wine from another. This is as opposed to, for example, me who can only discriminate between sweet and sour wines.
Of course, if you can discriminate differences, you are also likely to make judgements about which you prefer. Again, when applied to a wine taster, they can usually be relied upon to help distinguish good wines from bad wines. This implies that there is a more-or-less generally acceptable standard of good and bad wines. That's not always perfectly clear, but it is still generally useful to accept the advice of someone who has discriminating tastes.
We started using it in a more narrow sense to judge people unfairly. Unfortunately, that takes away the opportunity to discriminate against people fairly, which is legal and reasonable. It can also be a moral obligation. For example, you probably have a moral obligation not to rent to a drug dealer for the sake of your other tenants. Discriminating against drug dealers is perfectly OK.
You should not, however, discriminate against characteristics which do not guarantee an actual difference. The color of skin or nationality of origin are examples of this kind of discrimination and the only valid use of the word as a pejorative. Why? Because skin color or nationality of origin do not necessarily indicate behaviors, and it behaviors which should cause us to discriminate.
This brings us to the stripper. Being a stripper is not a characteristic, it's a behavior. It's also more than a job. It's a lifestyle choice. As such, I believe it is reasonable for a landlord to choose not to rent to one. It is also reasonable for a landlord to cater to strippers. It's his/her property, so it's his/her choice. As long as that choice is based on behaviors and not on characteristics that don't determine behaviors.
Shalom.
now had she listed "IRS agent" I would have said
,"sorry we're all broke, I mean, full."
My wife and I are empty-nesters and good Christians - I have three extra bedrooms, each with a private bath, also a conntecting play room between two of those bedrooms - as an aside, I have always been a playful person - if the girls are cash short, I am willing to accept in-kind services. Think of me as a budding Baron Hilton looking for his long lost daughters, Parabiosis, Paradigm, and Paradisiac. I remain as ever, your humble servant.
Tough to confirm your income in that business ...
So if we're renting a room at our house and a stripper comes along I can tell my wife, "I have to, honey, it's the law.".
EXAXTLY!!! What landlord would reject a STRIPPER!!
