Is it wrong for Landlords to discriminate

Single moms, blacks, immigrants, etc.?

And dont' act like it doesnt' occur. Try calling to rent a room with a thick jamaican accent in suburbia :)

TheStar.com | GTA | Landlords trample on tenants' human rights

But when a landlord looked her in the eye and coldly said he didn't rent to teens with babies, the truth hit like a slap in the face. As a young, black, single mom on welfare, nobody wanted to rent to her.

btw: in la, it's the opposite. whites or blacks can't get apts in apartment complexes that are 99% mexican. God bless america! lol

why would someone think a landlord, or owner of an item or place be required to rent to anyone that they deem not capable of repaying for the services rendered.. based on race?? credit?? life experience??

You're a jewish man. Would you rent your basement apartment or one of your 5 units to a young black male?

Stereotypes exist for a reason. Not every young black man is going to smoke pot all day and be a gang banger...unfortunately about 80% are.

Bottom line, it is up to the property managers. They have a right to CHOOSE who they want living in their building. One persons discrimination is another persons preference. If I don't think they can pay the rent consistently, why go through the headache of potentially getting back rent owed and having to evict someone? It's my property.

That article was pretty one sided because it is written by the bleeding hearts. When landlords get rent defaulted on they have nowhere to go because if they try to sue it costs more in court fees than the 1-2 months of rent they are owed so they get screwed. Publish the stats for how many single moms, blacks or other minorities default on their rent.
 
as always, the good have to suffer for the actions of the bad.

i'll answer.

i have a rental and a young black man shows up to rent it, right?
what does he do for a living? is he... a plumber? yes, i'd rent to him. Is he a stock broker? yes. Is he... a grocery store clerk? no. A single parent on welfare? no.

i don't care what color he is- i wouldn't rent to someone who couldn't pay their rent, or who i felt was dangerous, or who i thought wouldn't take care of the apartment, or might have too many friends over, etc.
 
My father in law has several rentals that I collect the rent for....guess who never has the money and or skips out and trashes the house and or has 8 pit bulls living in the house with them???

He finally listened to me...stopped renting to blacks and mexicans a year ago and have not had one person even be late on their rent.
 
I grew up in homes where my parents always rented and IMHO the landlord has EVERY RIGHT to decide exactly who can/can't live in the houses/buildings THEY OWN.

Why?

Because it is the landlord's responsibility to repair and make the payments to the bank... NOT the tenant's.

My ex and I also rented his condo for a short-time before we finally were forced to let it go into foreclosure. Firstst year we rented to two young black men. Rent was never late and they abided fully by the terms of their lease. Then we got desperate (the neighborhood REALLY declined) and rented to section 8. First was a single welfare mother with 3 kids and 10 different baby daddys. We had to evict her and she trashed the place. Second section 8 was a white couple - total trash. We had to evict them and they trashed the place.

We got tired of the bullshit and the property value had gone so low to the point where it would NEVER recover. My ex bought the place (against my advice) for 110K. At that point it was valued BELOW 40K and was ALL welfare - NO HOPE OF RECOVERY EVER.

I'm talking about what society does, not about you bishes renting out to disabled immigrant gay female war veterans. A jamaican male trying to call to rent a room will get far more negative answers than a young white male. This can (and was above) easily proven. Even if jamican male makes the same amount of $ as a white male.

I also wouldn't rent a room to a young black male if a young white male is available. I also would rent to a young white asian over a young white male. Furthermore, I would rent to a young jewish male over a young asian male if available. A mexican immigrant would have to make 3x what others make before I would rent to them. Welcome to reality.

Best thing to do if you're renting -- is to become a young white american couple.

There is no debate here. I thought we were debating something.

Bottom line is that it is YOUR PROPERTY. Just like my company is MY COMPANY. If I don't want to hire you because you are too short, too skinny, walk with a limp, etc... that is MY DECISION ALONE to make.

If someone has a problem with that, they can:

1. choose not to interview with me.
2. choose not to ask to be allowed to live in a property I own.

Thankfully the law disagrees.
 
Its wrong to overtly discriminate, but discreetly doing it is legal because no one can prove anything. Its like getting turned down for a job because you were too fat, but they said it was because you didnt have the right experience.

I don't think it should.

I mean, if you busted your ass to buy a property for rental income you are honestly telling me that you feel that you shouldn't have the final say in EXACTLY who you rent to?

Also, you busted your ass to build a company, put years of blood, sweat and tears, mortgaged your house, borrowed money from your parents' retirement account - you are telling me that you shouldn't be allowed to decide EXACTLY who you want to employ or when to dismiss them based on whatever criteria YOU deem proper?

It's YOUR ASS, isn't it?

Sorry... Still kinda baffled by the whole "My ex bought the place (against my advice) for 110K. At that point it was valued BELOW 40K" thing.

That's just beyond me. I'm not any sort of serious investor, but I think anyone who can count (i.e. a first grade kid) would be able to see that paying nearly triple the value of a property, with not even a glimpse of a chance of ever recovering at least its original value, would not be a wise investment.

Just sayin'.

when renting your property out, i think you should be able to do whatevr the fuck you want.

in this state (Louisiana) a landlord can turn down a sec 8 potential applicant.

Right or wrong don't pay my bills.

Here is some discrimination for you:

A man will do business with another man in a hearbeat. Same man will only *humor* a woman regardless of how qualified she is. I am not talking bullshit corporate mumbo jumbo. I am talking the real world where men do business playing golf/over a meal. A smart, attractive woman can *only* be an asset to the man who is doing the business but she is NOT the primary player. Can this barrier be broken? Not hardly, unless that woman was *helped up there* BY A MAN/MEN.

Discrimination sucks but it is what it is. We could sit around and bitch about it all damned day, that won't change a freaking thing.

I've learned to functin within the parameters of discrimination instead of running head first into the brick wall.

It accomplishes more and doesn't give me nearly as many headaches.

He bought a condo in the late 80's just before the market crashed. He bought it to live there, not as an investment. It was a beautiful brand-spankin new complex that was supposed to be this wonderful *community*. Only the economy crashed, the *wonderful community* was never finished, maintenance degraded then came to a screeching halt once they totally ran out of money and then surprise, surprise all of the *normal middle class people* that bought the places were moving out renting to whomever or just plain letting the places go. Next thing you know who is living AMONGST US? All the low-income section 8 people who were in THE PROJECTS just outside the walls! <--- the reason I told him to NOT BUY the condo is because, "Hello dumbbie - I have lived in New Brunswick my entire life. I KNOW this area. I don't give a fuck what the *condo salespeople tell you*."

But he didn't listen and neither did his dumbbie sister who also bought a unit in the same complex, different building.

Once we had 2 children and it now WE were living in the projects it was time to move. We rented to two decent young black men. They lived there for a year. After they moved out (for obvious reasons) we were never able to rent to anyone decent again - had nothing to do with the color of their skin. Decent people don't seek out scum for neighbors.

My ex was a real rocket scientist, he was. The man was nearly 30 and he was obviously not the sharpest tool in the shed. :rolleyes: I was barely 21. WTF did I know? Had I ANY experience or the backbone to speak up I would have made very different choices back then.

Live and learn.

You can turn anyone down that you want to. If you're doing it because of age, race, etc., you just can't say that was a factor.

I don't have a problem with discriminating as long as it's not based on race. I personally would discriminate against 18 year old single mothers with part time jobs till the cows came home. Bish ain't steppin foot on my property.
 
Here is a different point of view:

Why would anyone WANT to work for someone or live in someone's property if that person didn't want you there regardless of the reason?

I don't know, you tell me.

Bottom line is I will rent to whom I deem fit and I will hire/fire whom I deem fit. If I make good choices then I reap the benefit. If I make bad choices then I am left with nothing.

"The law" doesn't pay my bills and neither did it protect me or my family.

Not to mention that by MY LIFE EXAMPLE it was clear that I didn't NEED "the law" to tell me right from wrong.

Sorry my brother, but we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Silly me, yea I did actually did buy that whole "Truth, Justice and The American Way" BULLSHIT that my parents brought me up with. As a matter of fact my parents bought it so badly that they left their *evil nasty* homeland to come to the United States so that their children could have better.

Well in ONE GENERATION my parent's children figured it out beyond the shadow of a doubt. My sister moved her family BACK TO MY PARENT'S NASTY EVIL HOMELAND from the US 2 years ago and has NO INTENTION of EVER RETURNING.

My children know better than anyone on this board that they have even LESS rights so ya'll can spare me the whole "it sucks that a landlord won't let me pay him MY MONEY because of how I look" or "it sucks that someone didn't hire me because of how I look." Until your kid has been FUCKED like my kids have - save your breath. It makes you look foolish.

Right or wrong? Does it matter? They didn't want you there. Why would YOU WANT to be there? Oh yea, I forgot about the whole "the law says I can sue you if you don't want me there so I can get rich." <--- doesn't apply to everyone, just to those who have voiced that opinion in the past.

Racism is alive and well in the south. It makes my skin crawl. Anyone want to debate me - save your breath. I see it/hear it every damned day. I am one person and I DO make a difference by judging people based on the content of their character and not by the color of their skin. Will this get me into heaven faster? FUCK NO. It benefits ME actually because I don't limit myself based on ignorance and stupidity.

But the law can kiss my ass if it thinks it's going to tell me who I can/can't hire or who I can/can't rent to.

I suppose to a certain extent you are correct. I DO discriminate based on someone's appearance. WE ALL DO. That is how nature designed us.

But there is a difference between deciding who to employ or rent to and the type of discrimination when it comes to physical safety.

I am walking down a somewhat deserted street. A little old lady is walking towards me - the color of her skin is irrelevant. I don't feel danger.

I am walking down the same street and a young man is walking towards me all blinged out with a sideways baseball cap and his pants hanging down around his ass. I will not only clutch my bag but I will cross to the other side of the street and walk faster as soon as I see him. I could care less if he is black, white or hispanic. He could be a good kid that is just dressed like his young friends. But I am not about to find out the hard way.

Sometimes I have trusted people that were just like me (on the outside) and they fucked me hard, wearing a smile while they were doing it - same gender, etc.

Sometimes circumstances forced me to trust people that were NOTHING like me and who could have done a great deal of physical harm. Not only did they not harm me, but some were quite attentive and generous.

As a woman I will ALWAYS be < a man, whether he is black, jewish, gay or a midget. He will always be able to take his hat off his head, take a crap in it and put it back onto his head. HE WILL STILL BE A MAN... so I don't want to hear about how "I just don't understand."

Anyone who thinks that *the law* has changed fuck-all clearly isn't privy to the regular conversations I am privy to on a daily basis.

K to you for proving my point. Sorta like the white folk looking around first and then lowering their voices before telling some of the most gawd-awfull racist jokes it has even been my displeasure to hear... only you didn't NEED to look around first, or lower your voice before everyone yucked it up.

Women are the last group that it is STILL socially acceptable by nearly everyone to discriminate agaisnt/tell cruel jokes about that proliferate hatred/violence against/degrade, etc. The most ironic part about it is that EVERY MAN'S MOTHER WAS *JUST* A WOMAN. :whatever:

So I don't want to hear SHIT from any man about discrimination regardless of his age, skin-color, socio-economic background, religious affiliation or sexual orientation.

Come on we've all heard that joke. I STILL hear it more than I care to admit. And believe it or not it makes me angry because the same men who tell *the nigger* jokes are the same men who tell jokes like the one about *the bitch with the two black eyes, ya'll know, the one that didn't listen the first time*.
 
I think one of THE SADDEST STATEMENTS about how alive and well racism in the good old US of A is is this joke. I hear it all the time:

That is where you are incorrect, sir.

I am a firm believer that my actions will/do affect countless people. Hopefully the majority of those actions will have a positive affect. Those people will carry that on and hopefully pass it on to others and so on and so on, like a pebble tossed into a still pool causes tiny ripples that grow as they travel.

I do believe in this regard a body can CHOOSE to live forever. It is not about my name or fame or any of that, but the end result of what I choose to do/say.

... or not.
 
That has nothing to do with what I said. You seem to get upset a lot at harmless things like jokes and stuff. Racists jokes can be funny. So can jokes about beating up a woman. There's no such thing as an appropriate joke, which is why they're called jokes.

That's what I meant about not taking life so seriously. Not everything has to contain a message about the human condition or any of that horseshit.

Most discrimination is racial. Don';t believe me?

1) create myspace account of young black male
2) craete myspace account of young white male

make bm a 26 y/o accountant, and wm a 22 y/o cashier at a supermarket. Now answer 20 ads for rooms. REport back how many replies you get back.

In LA - hispanic/black males know never to seek rent in koreatown, a white male knows never to try to rent in a hispanic neighborhood. It's how we keep races seperate in this city. Landlords i've heard actually reassure their hispanic tenants they only accept other hispanics and no gringos/blaques. Likewise in other areas.

Is it wrong? Sure itg sucks for the non-whites out there who have less options. But that's life. I can't legally say "I wont hire certain races" at my work, but I do make certain races have a "higher threshold" to get to to win the job. You can squeak by legally with that. And single black mothers - hell no!!!

BM is dead on here. Your apt/room/work you can do whatever the f you want.

Because IMHO "a joke" about beating a woman is about as funny as "a joke" about lynching a nigger. There are far more women being beaten to death TO THIS DAY ON A DAILY BASIS then there are "niggers being lynched." Right? So why THE HELL is a joke about beating a woman anymore funny than the *antiquated* practise of hanging a person of color, specifically of African decent from a tree? I mean, there is a difference between a "nigger" and "a black person"... isn't there? Otherwise that boy wouldn't have been strung up in that tree to begin with.

Yes, I used the word NIGGER for a reason.

Interestingly enough, you again proved my point that WOMEN are the last group where society will still accept degrading/violent behavior directed towards them, tolerated by A WHOLE BUNCH OF PEOPLE *just because it is shrouded in what some call humor* while other groups are *somewhat protected* regardless.

You can't speak out of both sides of your mouth. You've made it abundantly clear (as is your right) that you find jokes about beating women to be funny.

Either "nigger jokes" are funny or they aren't. Which is it? What about "wetback and spic jokes"? Or what about the jokes over incinerating "kikes"? Are you aware of THE FACT that there are still people living today that remember seeing signs posted on public beaches stating, "No Dogs, No Niggers, No Jews". I have a hard time believing that anyone who saw these things would find ANY joke about "blaques or jews" to be remotely entertaining as I personally know many of these older adults.

Or are there certain groups that are *less* or *more* fun to make fun of?

And yes, I am fully aware that there are certain jokes that are funny in certain situations. But I can't think of ONE SITUATION where it is either appropriate or funny to make fun of a woman being beaten or degraded, yet so many still seem to think that it's ok.

Why do YOU THINK that is. Please help me to understand. Maybe I am missing something.

It's easy: just make a credit investigation and ask for proof of employment. Doesnt matter if the person is green, black or purple. If he/she fails at these, dont rent.
 
no it's not wrong. my dad is a landlord and the landlord should have the choices to decide who lives in their place. they don't want anyone fucking it up.
 
So far it seems that those who have been landlords/self-employed or who have been very closely related to them have opinions that differ regarding what "the law" deems right/wrong.
 
I think a few people are confusing qualifying with discrimination here. Comparing a welfare mom to an employed mom is apples and oranges. Verified employment isn't guaranteed to continue, but a solid work history on an application will show steady income and that the person is responsible. Welfare isn't guaranteed to continue, and in my experience, the people that collect don't have good credit and aren't responsible. There are exceptions to the rule, but whatever. Would you want your kid to date or marry someone on welfare? No. I have a duplex that I rent out and since I want it to stay in good condition I try to rent it out to either old mormons or professionals with no kids. Kids will fuck a place up worse than pets will. To qualify them I pull credit and do a verbal employment verification. Simple as that. Just because you want the place doesn't mean you get it. It's still my investment.
 
You're all over the place here and I'm entirely too lazy to type a response on my iPhone. Honestly I don't understand why you just said.

This does, however, remind me of one of the most spot on chapters of "Stuff White People Like" entitled "Being Offended."

Being offended is a spot on example of something white people like?

You're all over the place here and I'm entirely too lazy to type a response on my iPhone. Honestly I don't understand why you just said.

This does, however, remind me of one of the most spot on chapters of "Stuff White People Like" entitled "Being Offended."

DT has met me IRL.

No I am not "all over the place".

I am telling you that I find NONE of this funny. I think that is fairly simple.

I am still waiting for you to tell me why it is that the antiquated practise of lynching men of African decent (that nobody does anymore, haven't for a long ass time) is somehow UNfunny to you but the fact that many MANY women get beaten to death every damned day to this day is funny.

When you have the time please explain it to me so that I can understand.

Actually your signature is fairly clear... nevermind. You need type no more from your Iphone or any other place.

"AT LEAST OBAMA AIN'T NO WOMAN" (the part that goes without say for the men who proliferate and chuckle about this joke is that he IS *a nigger*).

I suppose you find that funny too... in private, that is... you prolly wouldn't have the balls to say it "out loud".

I hear shit like that every damned day living in Texas and no, I don't find ANY of it funny.

It's all crystal clear to me.

So far it seems that those who have been landlords/self-employed or who have been very closely related to them have opinions that differ regarding what "the law" deems right/wrong.

I've been a landlord in the past and from my experience EVERY RENTER sucks. I had problems with all kinds of people. I had a 3 bed room 2 bath house with pool in Fort Lauderdale that I rented furnished. (note: credit checks were run on ALL tenants)

First renters were a couple of single, hetero white guys. They paid their rent on time but pulled a midnight move and stole all the good pieces of furniture and carpets.

I thought I wised up and next rented the house (this time unfurnished; what remained after the 'boys' moved out went into storage) to a middle aged, ETHNIC couple. Both were highly educated academics and I figured stable. Well this pair decided to stop paying rent and tried to sue me. ARRGGGHH!!! Had to go to court, etc. They lost and had to pay their rent but moved out instead.

So now I thought, who can I rent to? So, I chose a gay couple. In all my dealings I never saw a gay couple trash an apartment. At least none of the people I know that rented trashed their home. Well, these guys were just as bad as every one else. They let their dog shit on the carpets. I fucking couldn't believe it!! How do people live like that? They turned my lovely home into a toilet. (It was really bad, not a one time oops! but used the floor as the designated dog poop place).

No renewal on their lease. Once they were gone i listed and sold the house.

I WILL NEVER BE A LANDLORD AGAIN
 
some people on this thread appear to be confusing "screening/qualifying" with "discriminating".
