Why, thank you deb, for the out-of-context quote *and* the totally false
accusation. Two in one shot - about par for a Net flame!

If you've been actually *reading* my posts, my might have caught on to
my statements that both side have rights and privileges - spelled out in
the contract (lease). Contracts are negotiable. I've also agreed that
some of these things are spelled out by law. Note that I've applauded
the keyless deadbolt law - it's good for all sides. This is "treating
renters like sharecroppers"?

I've merely disagreed with the notion that I completely lose control of
my property when I agree to let someone use it in a business
transaction. Certainly there are things I give up - but we've got
people in this newsgroup telling me (essentially) that I need a search
warrant to inspect for gas leaks when the renter's been on vacation for
a month! [please note that this would be one effect of the ideas
proposed in this topic.  No-one actually used this particular example
yet, until I did just now.]


cheers,
mark
