I guess they think if they don't "admit it" they aren't "guilty."

Even if I were sued, I document everything and obey the law, so I won't be found guilty.

That way I don't feel guilty about having them to pay an application fee where they may be unlikely to get accepted.

You shouldn't feel guilty about something outside of your control.

I just want to make it clear that I am not in the middle of an eviction case I am just a future landlord trying to research all the ins and outs of eviction before I take on a rental property/tenantsTo elaborate on my question I am wondering how you guys write your response letter to the tenant's special defense plead, such as what you include/write when answering this pleadThank you to everyone who replies

You are guilty of the same stuff you are accusing me of, I wrote a separate reply to this OP of this thread. 

They will make you believe that, may even be able to convince a lot enforcement officer or agency to press charges against you. ( this is called boxing you in) not charged have been filed and you think oh no I did something wrong and u plead guilty pay the fine all that blah blah, But bottom line is if they was to press charges against u and u held ur ground and fought and had a good lawyer and all that you may come out a loser in state courts but filed appeals to higher courts would finally set you free of the charges.

So, if you refuse to buy in certain areas due to drugs, crime, rental applicants, etc that makes you GUILTY!

The government lawyer spent much of their time in the case that was heard trying to make the point that the taking entity could not establish a value and thus could not be guilty of taking. 

guilty....737 in houston for United.
