., It is not my desire to discuss the moral or ethical facets of the fair housing laws.

There are no principles on the agenda, no morals to worry about, and it has nothing to do with fear of confrontation.

Moral: if you are a new landlord learn the lessons from experienced landlords even if you think you know better.

You really ought to do some real introspection as to your moral character.

Sticking your head in the sand when it comes to child welfare is morally wrong.

:Moral: It is legal to deny applicants who show they will be high maintenance.  

One thing you gotta remember, you aren't the moral police, people (especially if you're doing C/D low income) will burn you, many times over.. roll with it and move forward.

You have a moral obligation to handle your problems, not pass them on to someone else.You're giving Landlord's a bad name and should consider investing in a nice mutual fund.

The inherent conflict in the thread seems clear...Some argue that a landlord has a duty (legal and moral) to enforce the public nuisance laws the moment the landlord accepts a rent check. 

,What a landlord CAN do - legally - is one thing.What a landlord SHOULD do - morally, ethically - may be another matter.What's legal isn't always either moral or ethical.What's ethical and/or moral is not necessarily legal.Food for thought...David J Dachtera
