Toledo City Council is considering an ordinance that could put landlords in jail if their tenants hold too many loud parties.
The proposal, which is tougher than either the Athens, Ohio, or Bowling Green ordinances upon which it is based, is an attempt to crack down on student parties in the residential neighborhoods around the University of Toledo, but would apply citywide.
"This ordinance addresses the egregious examples of parties and gatherings that are literally out of control," District 5 Councilman Ellen Grachek said. Co-sponsoring the measure are District 1 Councilman Wilma Brown and at-large Councilman George Sarantou.
A landlords' association says the ordinance holds them responsible for behavior they can't control. And, they said, it could impel a landlord to try to personally break up a party if the police don't do it.

Is that the real headline? 'Tenet' instead of 'tenant?'
Yankees!
A landlord is responsible for George Tenet's behavior?
Sheesh!
First the 9/11 commission, and now American landlords.
George can't buy a break.
"And, they said, it could impel a landlord to try to personally break up a party if the police don't do it."
If words mean things, I really have to wonder about the choice of "don't". Will the police have the choice to just go after the land lord or will they still be required to cite the tenant?
What's a "propasal"?

"Breaking news; breaking news, CIA secretly controlled by evil landlords !! Read all about it in page one !! Breaking news, breaking news !!"
Meanwhile, in a nondescript lodging house :
"I told you it wasn't a good idea, dammit !!"
Proper headline: "Draft law may bring landlords a jail stay:
Proposal is aimed at raucous parties"
everbody's a english major around here. what do expect from a Florida education anyway...
LOL! (twice).
Sorry, never even thought about majoring in English. Just learned how to read and write.
I have no license to enforce the law so I can't go in and break up the party. And, I am not allowed to evict a tenant for having a party. Basically, with a law like this I'm screwed (literally and figuratively). I would sell my rental properties.
It's bad enough with the Landlord-Tanant Affairs Nazis always coming down on landlords for things such as grease smoking when it's on a stove burner. It happened to me... the idiot tenant spilled grease on the stove burner (electric stove) and the Montgomery County Landlord-Tenant Affairs Nazis told me that I had a defective stove!!!
didnt know there was a list. Im sure i will end up on it soon...lol
Florida Education? What's that? Learning how to drink beer through your nose? Do they even know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile in Florida?
