Folks,
remember you are not too far from such a situation.
I had to admit to racism and pay a fine plus the lawyers fee for something I had nothing to do with. It was regarding an “emotional service pet”. A tenant advertised for a roommate and said no pets and a pervert was trolling the classifieds. So why did I admit and write a check directly to the pevert?
I do not know the truth in this situation and neither do you.
There potentially go you and I.
As a landlord myself , that kind of garbage is risk we all face.
There are some nasty people out there looking for victim status .
