Apply this to tenant applications too
  • Again, sucks to be you, but when I put my place up for rent and there is a felon in the applications, opposed to 10 non felons, it goes right in the bin.

    Feel free to invest your time, money and effort into buying a place, fixing it up and renting it to fellow felons if you're so inclined.

    Tell me how it goes.

  • If society wants to host convicted felons then society can pay for it.

    I'll be more than willing to host them if I am guaranteed the refund of any and all damage they create, and the ability to remove them from my property whenever I want.

    In the meantime, as long as I'm on the hook for damages caused by a bad tenant and I don't have the legal right to evict a bad tenant on a moment's notice, then I will filter out convicted felons, and other risky tenants.

    It's easy to say 'you should do this thing' when you have no skin in the game.

  • Sucks to be you, but I don't see why I should jeopardize my investment because of one or two edge cases out of a million.

    I'm not going to investigate the criminal history of every single felon when there's perfectly fine non-felons hanging around looking to rent a place.

    It's basic common sense.

    Kind of like when you're choosing between two people to hire, they're equal in all and every thing, except one of them has full face gangsta tattoos. Guess who gets the job?

  • I don't have blind faith in it, I'm sure there are some people who don't deserve it.

    However, I'm also sure they're an insignificant minority. I'm not going to lose sleep over you thinking I should give drug dealers, rapists, murderers and pedophiles a thought on the 0.0000001% chance one of them was wrongfully convicted.

    I'm sure that makes me a dangerous person, far more dangerous than drug dealers, rapists, murderers and pedophiles lmao.

  • Sorry, I'm not willing to house rapists, murderers and pedophiles. Feel free to invest a significant portion of your time and money to do so if you wish to. Tell me how it goes for you.

    Actually don't, I've seen what happens when people do.

  • Ah yes, because one guy out of a million might not deserve it, I should seek to house rapists, murderers and pedophiles.

    Y'all have a strange sense of priorities.

    Look, don't be a felon. It's not hard. Plenty of people are not.

  • Vast majority of people manage to not become felons by not committing felonies

    Out of lm the people who are convicted felons, I don't think I'm wrong thinking those who are wrongly convicted are an insignificant minority

    Sucks to be them, but I won't try my luck on the absolute minimal off chance they weren't a criminal.

    If you don't want to deal with the baggage that comes with being a felon, don't commit felonies. It's not hard, plenty of people manage to do it.

    I filter potential tenants and it's served me well. I never had to do huge repairs or anything on any of my rentals.

    Most of my idealistic buddies who believe they operate a charity can't say the same.

  • I genuinely don't care. If I have the choice between felon and a not felon, I'll go with the not felon every day. It's the easiest choice I'll make in my life.

    If they didn't want to deal with the issues caused by being a felon, they should not have committed felonies. Simple as.

  • Tethered Bottle Caps
  • I just rip them off. It's a straight up pointless thing designed solely to annoy people while providing no benefit whatsoever.

    People who defend that kind of shit probably believe that plastic straws were going to be the downfall of humanity.
