in my most recent tenant drama, a couple who claimed to be 'husband and wife' and 'childless' turned out to be unmarried, have 3 kids(who were in and out of foster care), along with a whole other slew of mistruths. i'd simply like to know that, given federal (and local) statutes that strictly prohibit discrimination based on family status, is there any recourse in dealing with a situation where a couple presents as husband and wife (and/or as without children) when once approved, they move in and are quite bold about the fact that they actually aren't married and even go as far as to state that nor do ever plan to get married because its 'just a piece of paper'(the latter only with which do i agree) and then nonchalantly march in with an army of undisclosed children they claim are their own?

Go join the army or the Air force, but make ABSOLUTELY sure you get into intel.  

I am active duty Army, E-6.

Somebody bought a property used by the Army for bombing practice.Somebody bought the bottom of a man made lake, no shore line included.Many people have bought expired land leases, literally no worth the paper it was printed on.etc. etc. etc.

I got my gun and weapons training in the Army, fired everything the Army had and some we didn't have.

First things first...bubble gum, paper clip and a swiss army knife...if you can't MacGyver a solution with that, you're not ready to call yourself a handyman, oops I meant handyperson(aka Jedi Master, ruler of the world, smartest person in the room, boss, etc)Oh yeah, I forgot a twelve pack of your favorite cheap beer.Haha...really, a good Leatherman multi-tool is invaluable and will do most easy work, and can be part of your "everyday carry".$80And then it depends what you will do and what you like to do.

Depends on specific situation and tenant background.Had a tenant that is good as gold.Tenant had a brother in the Army that was killed in action in Afghanistan.Our tenant was his beneficiary.She collected a sizeable chunk of change, and wanted to prepay a year in advance.
