My thoughts: East Bay:- Close to a BART station to traveling medical worker/corporate person could hop on a bus/BART to work: El Cerrito, San Leandro, Hayward, Fremont, Walnut Creek, Pleasant Hill, Concord, Dublin, Pleasanton- Maybe Richmond, Antioch and Pittsburg but some parts have a lot of crime. - Going further out Brentwood and Oakley have appreciated quite a bit and have pretty good schools- Something with potential to add value: ADU attached to the main house or separately in the backyard in the future to get additional rent.

There will generally be more wear and tear, abuse, and neglect by the tenants, because they cannot afford to be on top of things.

Covering a tenant's utilities often leads to utility abuse.

It is effective Aug. 1, 2024.This ordinance is referred to as the Source of Income Discrimination Ban Ordinance" - which is identified in File #231019 and amends sections of Chapter 38 (Civil Rights) and Chapter 34 (Health and Sanitation) in the Missouri Revised Statutes for the purpose of classifying source of income as a protected trait in regard to housing discrimination.Here are some key takeaways from the attached ordinance:This ordinance bans discrimination against tenants based solely on:Source of income from an occupation, including gig work or paying rent in cash Use of public programs like Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, disability checks, or social security Poor credit score Prior evictions and alleged damages older than 12 months (less than 12 months can be a basis for denial) Prior convictions or arrests (sexual and violent crimes are excepted, a landlord can still deny based on these convictions)The ordinance also requires the city to proactively scan for rental ads using discriminatory language like "no Section 8" or "no past evictions".Landlords who are found to be in violation of the ordinance with respect to source of income can be fined up to $1,000 per incident.

Because they shouldn't be. - MASSIVE spam and abuses of people that get HUNDREDS of calls a day from "wholesalers"There are DO NOT CALL lists and laws in place that prohibit abusive calls.

Here is why I didn't require a reference for each one:The first set were a 17 year old and a 19 year old, trying to escape a brutally abusive situation.

If you have failed to include the domestic abuse protections language then your rental agreement will be void if the agreement also includes language allowing you to terminate a tenant's tenancy if the tenant or their guest have engaged in criminal activity.

Of course I realize lots of people grew up poor, or discriminated against, or had childhoods of divorce or drug abuse or sexual abuse or other things.

@Blaison Samuel No, but a simple Google search reveals someone who has bought a ton of domains, all with the keywords "J T Foxx complaints and J T Foxx lawsuits" ......possibly an attempt to bury any criticism of the fact that there was a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment of a minor, or comlpaints of him charging up to $60,000 for whatever it is he does.http://www.bizjournals.com/prnewswire/press_releases/2012/08/24/LA62361Does that help?

Landlords cannot evict tenants or threaten to evict victim tenants for domestic violence, abuse, or sexual assault.
