The letter does mention serving the Spanish needs of the area. As a landlord, they have the right to evict or end the lease for many reasons, but this implies discrimination.KEN-JENNINGS wrote:
Read the letter. He didn't tell him that. He never had a lease. From the letter, it seems he had a month-to-month rental agreement. The landlord has a right to kick him out (with 30 day notice, sometimes longer) at the end of every month. The landlord could have kicked him out and not rented it to anyone. That is his right. Denying him that right would be illegal.
Never in the letter is it stated that he is getting kicked out "cause they don't speak spanish, or not of the latin persuasion" (whatever that means). The author of the article (and by extension you I guess) assumed it-planted the idea willingly to promote their own agendas.
Had he just terminated telling him "we decided we want a tenant who doesn't pay rent late" without the "serving the Spanish needs" comment there wouldn't be a problem.
Poorly played on both sides. If the tenant sues there will be a countersuit from the landlord. The landlord might be able to sue the guy even if he packs up and goes "quietly".

I dont have enough Native American in me to get an tribe ID card though. . . . I think you need a 1/16th to get the card. Its my great great grandmother who is the full blooded Indian.
Regardless. . . . . you cant boot someone simply because you dont like them, renters DO have rights against that!!!
I don't see how that is liberal or pc... but good job just shouting out against what you hate.fadedsteve wrote:

Not only is that illegal, but is wrong on every platform. . . .
I am so sick of this bullshit pc crap going on in our country, I could spit!!
When you let liberalism/"progressive thought" poison our values and what we stand for, what do you expect??? . . . . anarchy!!
It's PC because what if a white landlord evicted a black tenant to "better serve the needs of the white community".Nicholas Langdon wrote:

Good luck making that work.
You get a card if you're Native American? What does it do, get you discounts at casinos and stuff?fadedsteve wrote:

He was late on the rent. Enuff said.fadedsteve wrote:
You cannot kick someone out of a property unless they have violated the rental agreement, or dont pay their rent. . .
Telling them to leave cause they dont speak spanish, or not of the latin persuasion is ILLEGAL!! Not only that its unAmerican
I dont give a fuck if someone is bi or tri lingual, as long as they assimilate, are here legally, and abide by our laws etc.!!! I couldnt be more serious/honest when I say that. . . .
No, it's more like "I'm evicting you because you don't cater to my hispanic vision. Oh yea...you didn't pay the rent on time once."rawls2 wrote:

I wish I could speak Spanish, then if I visited South America I could communicate with people better.

Spanish is easy to learn. Easy to read and write.
If the white guy wants to set up shop have him buy his own piece of land. If a bunch of Mexicans were getting evicted so a Starbucks or a WallMart could be built would you care, probably not.SenorToenails wrote:

Furthermore, If you bought a piece of land and leased it out to car dealerships to make an auto super center would you let in someone selling cakes.
If you're going to live in the United States, then you better damn well learn to speak English. Our primary language is English, not Spanish (or any other language). Why the hell should our country cater to you, when it's our country, and when you're too damn lazy to learn our language? Why should we go through the time and resources to translate everything into your language, when it isn't your language that's spoken here? You don't see Americans moving to other countries demanding that everything be translated into English, do you?
If you're in this country, and don't even speak fragmented English, then get the hell out of this country.

I'm assuming this happened in the US. That guy had no right to evict that person. He should be the one speaking English.

Cater to the spanish speaking community = marketing.
Lazy Mexicans = false
Spanish = spoken here.
Americans moving to other countries demanding English = no, but we act like it.
Your in the wrong thread buddy. We're talking business and the rights of renters/owners.Bert10099 wrote:

Lol! I love watching hypocrisy!
Thats the Mexican Immigration policy. I wonder how many of you thought i was talking about america?You come into our nation and you learn our laws and our customs! If you have a problem the leave! We dont want you here we dont need you here.

But telling someone to leave because they don't speak English, or not of the American persuasion is entirely American.fadedsteve wrote:

Neocons really make my head hurt.
Twilight zone...But there's a double standard, and I don't think Munroe is a villain as much as he's the symptom of a bigger societal ill: Try telling a minority business owner to leave so you can bring in a quality tenant to serve the need of the English-speaking population.
You'd have activists organizing protests so quick it'd make the annual snowbird migration seem slow.
If Wal-Mart managed to get Mexicans evicted by saying it was to "better serve the white community" you bet your ass I would care. That is a bullshit reason to evict anyone.rawls2 wrote:

And if I had a piece of land that I intended to lease out to car dealerships, I would not let a cake dealer in for 7 years, then boot them on an issue of race.
Wow, your conservative nature is showing through. As usual, you can't combat what I noted as the truth. Speak the fuck up, or shut the fuck up about every problem in the world being the liberals.fadedsteve wrote:

Oh, that's right, you can't do it because you know I'm right.
