Re: Civil Rights

Why should he? You're seriously midguided there.. he, as a landowner, only has to provide the basic services as required by law, and guess what? Cable is not one of them!

Phone, Power, a form of heat, (be it gas or electric) sewer, water, and trash are the only "required services"... cable TV and internet are not one of them NOR do they need to be "fully disclosed" as you put it.

With your post, you've overstepped your boundaries. Would it be nice they were disclosed? sure.. required? no. There are a lot of things that could/should be 'fully disclosed' but to what point should a landlord have to go?

It's already assumed that as a renter there are going to be choices that can be limited. If it's important to the renter, they should ask,... daddy.

We're talking a "utility" access to which is regulated by the Federal government as well as state and local franchising laws. There are equal-access laws on the books and a landlord cannot lock someone into a lease without disclosing things like restrictions on cable TV vendors.

At some point I trust you will back up your opinion with something resembling facts. Lease law is probably a good place for you to start.

I happen to be a rental property owner and landlord. I have both commercial and residential property in two states. You?
