    My neighbor just realized he rented out his house to a guy who is under investigation for multiple murders. He found out when cops kept showing up looking to question him and the neighbors called to notify him. I simply googled his tenant’s name and all the news stories, criminal records and mug shots came up, so I guess the landlord was just a dumbass.

        Look up “crime free housing” it’s disgusting. It’s a way to have landlords evict the entire household based on an arrest. The main website

        http://www.crime-free-association.org/about_crime_free.htm

        Is an absolute fever dream of nonsense. The guy who pioneered the idea needs to be locked away.

        Not only is it a sick idea, it makes no sense. If someone is really dangerous, then they will go to prison after they are tried and convinced. Why should everyone in their home get evicted because of them?

          Thanks for the info. Its crazy to me how many people regularly completely disregard the concept of “innocent until proven guilty” like its not one of the, if not THE most important thing in our legal system.
