Is that the real headline? 'Tenet' instead of 'tenant?'

[50 Cal]

Yankees!

[brewcrew]

A landlord is responsible for George Tenet's behavior?

[mabelkitty]

Sheesh!
First the 9/11 commission, and now American landlords.
George can't buy a break.

[CSM]

"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?

[Tax-chick]

What's a "propasal"?

[mcg1969]

Proper headline: "Draft law may bring landlords a jail stay:
Proposal is aimed at raucous parties"

[Michael.SF.]

This is really a tough day for landlords. They have to rent to strippers and now they have to make sure the parties are quiet ones.

[69ConvertibleFirebird]

I own rental property. In Ultra-Liberal Montgomery County, MD (a D.C suburb) a tenant has to have 4 convictions in court before I can evict him for failure to pay rent.

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!!!

You'll have to try a bit harder than that if you want any chance at the Worst Typo Ever award.

[midwyf]

I wonder if they ever gave any consideration to arresting and charging the perpetrators. This seems the ultimate in shirking personal responsiblity.

"New Propasal says Landlords responsible For Tenet Behavior
"

Copy and paste are your friends. In the first place, this is not the headline from the story. That's frowned upon here, and leads to duplicate posts. In the second place, you misspelled two words, making the headline confusing at best, as I'm sure you've seen already.

This could have been easily solved by copying the actual headline and pasting into the posting form.

[DJ MacWoW]

Um...........wouldn't this lead to landlords screening potential tenants more vigourously and thereby precipitating lawsuits for discrimnation? I'm from Toledo and moved in 1975. They certainly haven't gotten any brighter.

[NRA1995]

Spellcheck is our friend....use it

[Tallguy]

Well, there's another stupid law...

New Propasal says Landlords responsible For Tenet Behavior

So his landlord made him step down as DCI?

[HamiltonJay]

This happens all the time, some local politician gets a bug up their butt, or some resident complains and the local politicians decide somehow its the landlord's responsibility to be mommy dearest to their tenants.

Every time thankfully judges throw this crap out, but frankly these politicians are the ones that need removed.

Hey, understand a simple concept... PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY

[tdadams]

I used to live about 10 feet behind a house that was formerly a quiet one-family home that was bought and converted into a boarding house for collge students. Not until then did I ever fathom what motivates a person to commit murder.

I guess this ordinance is a good alternative to that.

New Propasal says Landlords responsible For Tenet Behavior

I just wanted the title you chose to remain on this thread for eternity. LOL

[Political Junkie Too]

Weren't there already laws in some communities that limit a landlord's ability to refuse to rent to some people? So, first we force landlords to rent to people, and now we jail the landlords if the tenents don't behave?
