Rant on

[Donald Dienst]

It is time for the town to reinspect my property. I understand the health and safety issues in renting and the town has an interest in protecting tenants and their rights. I welcome the inspection. However, this year they sent me a notice that they changed some of the town ordinances. Now the town is claiming that they can tell me to evict my tenant(s) if they don't like them. 

This is a direct violation of my rights of ownership. So they can send me a notice and I have to incur the costs and dangers of eviction or they will take away my right to rent out my own property.  The way it is worded it the tenant doesn't even have to be convicted of a crime, which still would be wrong to both me and the tenant, but just on suspicion of trouble making by the town. 

I am really sick of lawmakers that have no regard for rights and leave it to the judges and lawyers to work out if it is really legal or right.  By act of decree make a defacto easement upon my property rights as an owner.

This ordnance probably will never directly effect me but the fact it exists makes me angry as it is an affront to my ownership rights and the rights of my tenants.

Not that I would want such a tenant but I want the right to want them.

The town is Roseville, MI. 

Or am I reading this all wrong... It is a city not a HOA.
