I just signed a lease with a tenant on June 15th, 2023. I ran a background check and something did show up but showed (N/A) on the background check. I asked the applicant and they said it was nothing and got dismissed...

My cleaner is in there now, and she found marijuana and paraphernalia, (the lease states NO smoking or marijuana use on the property), dog poop all over the carpets (they said they didn't have a pet and didn't pay a pet fee), a broken kitchen cabinet, dog pee on the bedsheets, sex toys under the bed (just in case the dog poop wasn't nasty enough for my poor cleaner), stickers on the wall and a hole in a door, and lots of personal property of the tenants.

I just read through the NC fair housing law, and the exemptions are owner occupied 4 or less unit property, room rental, religious organization, private club, single sex dorms, and commercial real estate. 

He wouldn’t give me a copy  of a written lease and is now  trying to evict us for holding over because he terminated our month to month lease because we are a married same sex couple  and not brothers as he originally thought.

(criminal, sex offender, address history, credit score, evictions, etc) Based on that data we usually make a decision but will often call previous landlords, do job verification, etc.

We have very little sex or none (don’t know if good or bad for landlords but there probably isn’t much drama with girlfriends or boyfriends breaking up or hooking up).

You comfortable with having a registered sex offender or felon fixing your tenants sink?

I have actually been looking into some deals down there by UofA and there are so good deals but most of them either have hight crimes rates surrounding them or a large sex offenders population in the downtown area which can deter quality renters and buyers

In my experience, you cannot increase density and you cannot fill vacant spaces that have been vacant for over a year but I do not believe they can stop you from replacing homes.In fact, I think it is against federal law under HUD for them to try to stop you from replacing homes with anything newer than 1976.Cities are predators when it comes to affordable housing, especially mobile home parks.The nuclear option is always telling them that the only other way to increase your return is creating a community for Sex Offenders a much-needed category of housing, and they will start returning your calls.

Hello @Bao Vuong,  I'm also in Denver and have several deals out of state.
