Well, the landlord should find another way in this small town to find tenants, wor of mouth might be best.If any of those tenants have more than they should have, and they get busted, under federal law, since the landlord had knowledge and made the requirement, he could face losing his property....not saying he would, but I can certainly see that happening.
