Squatters should go to and jail, and then since they like to take from others and be leeches on society, they then should have to do community service

Honestly, family is first.  If family is not put before business the marriage can suffer, then divorce can happen, then divorce lawyers get what you worked so hated to learn.

I own, I like being king of my castle, and not having to have to deal with a landlord.

@Elizabeth Colegrove I completely agree, I happen to live in an area that is not the greatest in fact here's a quote from Wikipedia

 In 2000, Fort Pierce was rated the highest in the United States for having the worst crime rate based on city size and population.

In all fairness my area has been getting considerably better the last few yrs.

But in the end no matter if you're in a good area or a bad area if you are a landlord who really loves people and treats them nice they would generally want to treat you that way back

Certain crimes are worse than others I for one could care less about renting to someone Who had done pot in their past, if that was a requirement for president of the United States we wouldn't of had at least two presidents so far, some crimes are very heinous in nature and I would not want to rent to someone, such as being violent to women, multiple breaking enterings, arson etc, crimes that actually hurts others

it appears like you are clumping all people who have that charge as though they're all doing similar crimes, I completely disagree with your post as some people may have gotten busted for dealing hundreds of pounds and some people may have gotten busted for a couple joints.  And I don't think you can fairly judge this potential applicant based on some court case you've heard in the past, his  charge should be looked at separately , based on what he/she has a individual did himself/ herself

Do you know for sure if it was a grow house, possession with intent to sell could have been a charge trumped by a over zealous cop, such as in the potential tenant having it in multiple small baggies, possibly having a gram scale, etc.  both of which can be explained away, the scale, as applicant may of wanted to weigh pot to ensure amount, and having multiple baggies, they may have "forgot" where their stash was, and bought another.  A lot of poor people may buy 1 nic bag at a time, if a cop searched their car, and found multiple bags with small amounts in each or even full, that may have resulted in the intent to sell charge.  I would not have a problem renting to a felon, as long other criteria works out, such as them being respectful, having references, making the right amount etc.  I think that if everyone got in trouble for everything they have done, most likely everyone would be felons. For instance in Florida a 12 yr old was arrested and jailed for throwing a pecan at a bus.  A Pecan!  He was being charged with a third degree felony of throwing a deadly missile.Also in Florida it is a misdemeanor to drive within 500 ft behind a ambulance.  So if you are driving 499 ft behind a ambulance in traffic, you could be charged with a misdemeanor. As you can see, it can be pretty easy to get a criminal record.  I would want to look beyond applicant having a felony
