Andy A. How much would you ask your landlord for inconvenience
12 May 2015 | 46 replies
Sure, thump your chests, and expect a bill for everything that was damaged or missing.And, whoops, there was that sex offender who now knows they have a teenager living in the house and which room in the house he/she lives in...Having an open house with a tenant in place is utter insanity.And, for loss of use of their home, and being "forced" to allow a horde of unvetted strangers into their home and their possessions, is worth some serious dough.So, they should negotiate to be paid cash for keys to move - before the open house starts - or stick to their guns for a month's rent, and include very specific days and times that that allows people entry.And if they're not okay with that, then go see a lawyer about negotiating a deal.As a tenant now, I would never agree to letting unvetted strangers access to my home and belongings for hours on end, weekend after weekend.

And there's no better place to flee from those pesky housing initiatives than the home state of this guy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julian_Castro (take a look at  his job title) and  no better city than Fort Worth http://www.star-telegram.com/news/local/community/...Your baldfaced refusal to accept vouchers is probably unlawful of itself but even if I am wrong on that it is not hard to construe such a policy  as discriminatory on grounds of, sex, race and/or familial status as those demographics will be disproportionately disadvantaged by your exclusion.Everybody thinks they are fair.

If you need to see what he's paying her, the more tactful way to ask for page 1, the last page signed, and then the page that deals with support (versus the whole 20-30 page doc that may go over how they will deal with sex tapes and how his affair lead to the divorce.. etc).
