So the current liberal philosophy is, “absolutely no consequences for anything you’ve ever done.”

Working out well so far.

I don’t need to run a background check. I just search their Facebook and Instagram. That usually clues me as to your life and how you manage it.

I also do a casual walk by of your vehicle. If it’s full of fast food wrappers and trash, I’m not renting to you.

It found that after the Minneapolis ordinance went into effect, landlords were more likely to discriminate against applicants with stereotypically African-American names.

I wouldn't rent to anyone in the Nuffin clan...you know, the hood rats at the crime scene who all are "Dindoo Nuffin".

Their cousin is Dinpay Nuffin.

“They are arguing that it is racist and sexist not to rent to people who have histories of being evicted, because blacks are more likely than whites to be evicted, and black women apparently have the highest eviction rates.”

Could it be because blacks are more likely than whites to not pay their rent?

That is one of the questions on my personal rental application. If they’ve been evicted, I want to know the reason and the circumstances. If there was no misbehavior on their part it’s one thing; if they failed to pay rent without good reason or did damage, it’s another.

Where is the black community then to help out their own? Where are the black landlords who will step up and help their own because American society is so racist?

Yes. These anti-Americans are deliberately confusing effect with cause.

It is working out well for Deep State.

And Deep State doesn’t like competition.

Officer, are you arresting everyone driving down the sidewalk, or are you just picking on me?

The government must be required to reimburse property owners for rent that is not paid by tenants who are forced on the landlords.

RE: The government must be required to reimburse property owners for rent that is not paid by tenants who are forced on the landlords.

I agree. The only problem with that is — who DETERMINES how much the reimbursement should be? Will that include repairs, maintenance and other things that a Landlord is supposed to provide under a signed agreement?

The moment the government starts to step in to a private transaction, you’re screwed ( just ask any doctor who accepts Medicaid ).

For subsidized housing, like Section 8, the best rental application requirement is meeting one of two criteria (i) credit score of 740 or above, or (ii) no adverse credit items in the past 5 years.

That wipes out all the baby mommas and dope boys and leaves nothing but old ladies over about 70 because they don’t have any credit, much less adverse credit items.

How about not keeping track of sex offenders???

They should be able to roam where ever they wish???

IF YOU HAD SUCH AN INVESTMENT in property-—WOULD YOU HAPPILY RENT TO A CHRONIC EVICTION RENTER???

F SO-—SPEND SOME TIME WATCHING Judge Judy of People’s Court.
An education awaits you.
