The "fair housing ...Landlords have no rights. The "fair housing act", 1968 (as amended since), clearly defines that the state has primacy in defining owner-tenant relationships. Since "black" was used as a hard and fast proxy for "deadbeat", the law was intended to prevent landlords from discriminating against blacks. Now "deadbeat" is feared to be a proxy against "black", so landlords aren't allowed to screen out people by any rational reason. They might result in not selecting enough blacks. <br /><br />The only ways to fix this are:<br />1. Repeal the civil rights act of 1968. Not going to happen. The People prefer "fairness" instead of liberty.<br />2. Convince every rental applicant to check the block "black" on their HUD disclosure form, no matter how pale they are. If you have enough "blacks", you are safe.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
