I disagree. Firearms owners are the only protected class. Everyone else is subjugated.A firearm owner is not a protected class. The Fair Housing Act makes it illegal to discriminate because of race, color, religion, sex, disability, familial status, or national origin
Your gun safes are covered in piss and vomit?So rent away buddy.
Mine look like NYC telephone poles
Plumber enters:Or they see your safe while fixing the water heater
Landlords can absolutely discriminate against you for exercising a civil right.I read that it is illegal for the government restrict gun in public housing. There was a court case.
I can’t imagine if gun ownership, which is a civil right, be restricted and enforced in a lease.
In Massachusetts??!?Then let them know you are ammosexual, that black guns matter, and worship John MOSES Browning
Landlords would be tickled just to have a tenant that actually pays rent these days.
If your a good tenant only a fool would bust chops over guns.
Seeing what I see in rentals if your paying and not trashing the place they may even kiss your ass.
Mostly. Yeah why?Your gun safes are covered in piss and vomit?
Self defense, you live, you get kicked out of apartment your landlord lo
Sure it is. When you choose a red car instead of a blue one you discriminate. When you chose a highy regarded board certified surgeon over one who just completed his/her fellowship, you discriminate. Only certain types of discrimination are illegal.I'm sorry, did you expect a real lawyer? I thought this was a place to speculate wildly.
BTW....I stand by my answer. If you dont like the terms of a lease, don't sign it. This is not discrimination.
This has nothing to do with “civil” rights. It is a business issue. Someone does not like the lease terms? Someone is free to just move along.Landlords can absolutely discriminate against you for exercising a civil right.
The Fair Housing Act has a limited set of carve-outs where the landlord cannot discriminate --
Anything not on the list is fair game under Fair Housing (state laws may differ, for example Massachusetts forbids discrimination against military veterans or based on “genetic information”
- Race / Color / National origin
- Gender / Sexual orientation
- Religion
- Familial status
- Disability
In Massachusetts??!?
The ATF has taken the position that the 2A is a right, but not a civil one, based on US v. Logan.This has nothing to do with “civil” rights. It is a business issue. Someone does not like the lease terms? Someone is free to just move along.
what...are we ten? what grown adult would put stickers on anything?But we all know how we put stickers on them.

This particular case doesn't -- some terms (see my post above) are illegal to include in a lease.This has nothing to do with “civil” rights. It is a business issue. Someone does not like the lease terms? Someone is free to just move along.
I'm curious if is this a large corporate company or an individual landlord. The former is probably corporate attorney BS and I would just ignore if I liked the apartment. The latter might be worth avoiding to prevent having to deal with other BS. Guns aren't like dogs where someone will know you have a dog running around in there.Is a lease for real estate rental in MA that prohibits firearms on the premises, at least for the renter, as opposed to visitors, legal and enforceable?
Would you start an eviction proceeding if you found out a renter did not comply?With firearms and pets I put in the lease that the tenants must carry renters insurance and list me as notified if coverage cancels or lapses. With the “medical” marijuana I’m more concerned about a tenant setting up a hydroponic grow system than owning guns.
I have news for you. Your tenants sign it without reading and never get renters insurance.With firearms and pets I put in the lease that the tenants must carry renters insurance and list me as notified if coverage cancels or lapses.
Pre china virus - Depends on the tenant but probably not evict, Housing court is a bitch. Most likely would not renew when it expires though. In this climate if they pay and don’t cause problems don’t rock the boat cause you can’t kick em out.Would you start an eviction proceeding if you found out a renter did not comply?
No I have them initial each page and get a copy of the cert of insurance on file. We try to do a good job of vetting and it hasn’t been an issue yet.I have news for you. Your tenants sign it without reading and never get renters insurance.
Renters insurance is a pretty common requirment these days. My daughter had to submit proof of insurance with her first check and upon signing her renewal. And honestly, it is affordable enough that you are almost crazy not to carry it.I have news for you. Your tenants sign it without reading and never get renters insurance.
It can be enforceable for anything not considered directly involved with quality of life.How about a lease that prohibits dildos?
How about a lease that prohibits alcohol?
Why is there a carve out for guns?
I see the term skinflint thrown around a lot and I think it would fit here if you don’t carry renters insurance. It’s pretty cheap when you consider what it covers in terms of theft, loss, hotel etcRenters insurance is a pretty common requirment these days.

I must prove every year I have renters insurance, insurance agent emails copy of my policy to company.I have news for you. Your tenants sign it without reading and never get renters insurance.
HA!HA!Me. What grown adult has a cartoon as a avatar?

I made my own. It's a legal notice that the safe is my personal property; that any other person having the combination does not have the owners (me) authorization to grant consent to entry; and that opening the safe when ordered to do so by police shall not be considered consent. I keep a photo of that notice on the safe in my archives.what...are we ten? what grown adult would put stickers on anything?
rob, good idea! i gave my combination to a couple trusted individuals, i should do the same. to be honest, it'd be like asking the love of my life to sign a pre-nup...awkward. but i suppose no one need know until the deed is done. a theft that is.I made my own.
