Who will pretend they don't have guns.
The landlord is counting on poor tenants who can not afford lawyers. He has forgotten he has to pay the plaintiff’s lawyers in these cases even if he wins in the end.
I agree. This attempt is the same assault on the constitution that a restriction against possessing a bible in one’s apartment would be.
If the management company doesn’t drop this immediately they’re gonna find a world of legal hurt.
Sue.
I can’t think of a quicker way to turn their precious apartment complex into a slum. Might as well just tell the criminal elemnt, “easy pickings here.”
Exactly. You should never have to check your constitutional rights at the door.
Yes, I know, crowded theaters withstanding...
If he goes, violent criminals with illegal guns will move in. Is that what they want?
Sorry, but Colorado only ranks slightly higher than commiefornia on my “This concerns me” list. Both states are just above Zimbabwe.
Exactly ... no different than many of the stories out there about HOA’s banning the flying of a flag.
this is the interior of an appartment. Home is castle even if it is an apartment.
Remember these are fundamental rights being taken away. Does the landlord have the right to say no to certain religions?
Sure it can. The only issue is access to the lists. Many/most state laws (wisely) forbid public access to CCW permit lists and applications.
As the USSC stands now, a private bedroom activity can not be prohibited by a landlord.
Maybe, maybe not - depending on the activity. But it has nothing to do with the U.S. Supreme Court.
A landlord can not discriminate based on religious belief or matters of conscious.
That depends. Because of existing state and federal laws they cannot, for instance, refuse to rent to someone simply because they are Jewish. But they can refuse all kinds of things that are or might be considered religious practices (conducting services, posting signs, burning incense, etc) in the apartment.
“Attention all you street gangbangers - this complex is now gun free. Have a nice day”
When you rent from ME, you have to be prepared to quarter and feed military troops.
Dear Mr. Apartment Owner:
You can no more deprive me of my Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms than you can deny me the right to free speech, habeus corpus, or equal protection under the law. The Constitution doesn’t become null at the gate to this complex.
If you want to try to evict me, be prepared for a lengthy legal battle. And if I lose that, be prepared for a battle of another kind.
Go pound sand.
— Your Tenant
Let the apartment complex implement this no gun policy and the word will quickly get out that this is a great place to rob and rape.
fundamental right is the issue.
Cities and landlords were given carte blanch to do as they pleased because the black robe inteligencia pushed the myth of priviledge not fundamental right. We now have a fundamental right.
Can a landlord only rent to democrats? republicans? Can he prohibit NRA membership? Mandate membership in greepeas? (last mispelling intentional)
Sorry no.
They can tell new tennents that they may not have guns but those who are currently in residence are under the terms of what ever lease they signed before the managers went crazy.
But it is the second part of the statement which will really give them trouble, firearms and weapons. Weapons? Really? Do these dorks have any idea how broad a term that is?
Not the sharpest knives in the drawer are they.
no a landlord is renting out a “castle” and a person has a right to be secure and quiet enjoyment INSIDE the castle. An appartment is regulated by state and local laws.
This is not a raw unregulated contract.
Event to just enter and do regular maintainance a landlord is required to give notice.
Oakwood is an Assisted Living Facility. They accept government money to subsidize the rent. Unfortunately, the “no weapons” clause is ALWAYS in HUD contracts with property owners. The property owners/property management companies MUST state “no weapons allowed” in order to collect the federal dollars. If you dance with the devil, you have to pay the piper.
