Last time I checked, gun owners are in a class that is protected by the second ammendment to the United States Constitution.txyaloo wrote:Why wouldn't they be able to say no guns? A person leasing an apartment is entering into a contract. If they don't agree with the terms of the contract, they could find a place to live with more agreeable terms. Gun owners aren't protected classes. It's not discrimination to choose not to lease to gun owners.TexasJohnBoy wrote:A friend of mine at work currently rents an apartment, and he's up to renew. He told me this morning that he noticed a new sheet in the TAA lease asking for a copy of your LTC if you've got one. This seems mighty odd to me, and I haven't seen the paperwork yet.
But, it made me wonder, what are the ramifications of this? Can you be denied a lease because you hold an LTC and therefore have guns in your home (albeit, rented home)? Can you say noneya and then be evicted if they ever find out you have one?
I told him if it were me I would tell them NONEYA! But that's me, and he doesn't currently have an LTC. I also thought that since your appartment is your home, a landlord can't tell you no guns - but they can restrict open carry on the premises. I also know the topic of 30.06 has been discussed on whether or not it's valid for the rest of the complex besides your unit.
