Illegal Discrimination Quiz

Take this short illegal discrimination quiz.  See if you are inadvertently discriminating.

Have you ever done the following?

1. Told an applicant there is not an opening because you did not want to rent to that person, when there really is an opening.
2. Advertised in such a manner that indicates a preference base on group characteristics, such as skin color or sex.
3. Set restrictive standards for certain applicants and not others, such as higher income.
4. Refusing to reasonably accommodate the needs of disabled clients, such as hearing dog, sight dog, or other service animals
5. Had different sets of late payment penalties for different tenants.

Consistently using a standard application can protect you from costly lawsuits.

Is the lease agreement really that important?

Yes, the rental lease agreement is the single most important legal document you have to protect yourself and the tenant.  If it’s not in writing, it just doesn’t count.  A handshake is difficult to enforce.

I get calls daily from landlords telling me of issues with their tenants.  They say the tenant is doing this or that, and want to know if it’s grounds for eviction.  I always ask them is that issue covered in your lease agreement.

Your lease should spell out terms and conditions clearly for both parties to understand.

Let me show you some of the must have points in your rental lease agreement. 

1. Abandonment: Landlord remedies when Tenant abandons the premises.
2. Alterations & Repairs: Rules governing Tenant alteration of the premises.
3. Assignment and Sub-letting: Terms of leases often apply to the sub-lessees.
4. Default / Breach: Remedies for tenant breach, including failure to pay rent.
5. Inspection & Landlord Access: When, and how, landlords may enter the premises.
6. Lawful Use of Premises: Tenant’s right to possession and its limits.
7. Lead Paint Disclosures (42 U.S.C. § 4852d) Each state-specific residential lease agreement also contains federal lead hazard disclosure statements as required by 42 U.S.C. § 4852d. For a free EPA pamphlet, please visit http://www.hud.gov/offices/lead/disclosurerule/
8. Maintenance: Who is responsible and how maintenance is defined.
9. Parking: Included or not?
10. Rent & Late Fees: When, and how, to collect late fees.
11. Security Deposit: Legal maximums and number of days to return to Tenant.
12. Tenant Hold Over: Landlord remedies for unlawful retainer.
13. Termination of Tenancy: Notice required varies from state to state.
14. Utilities: Who must pay to keep the lights on?
15. Surrender of Premises: How and when Tenants give up occupancy.
