		<description><![CDATA[QUESTION OF THE MONTH
Q: We are thinking of making some of our apartments nonsmoking. Can we do that without tripping over fair housing law?

A: The simple answer to the question is: yes. But if you had said, â€œCan we do that without considering fair housingâ€ the answer would have been no. Only those interested in how we get to the answer, or in the implications of the answer, should read on.

Fair housing laws say we should not treat people differently who belong to assorted protected classes: race, color, national origin, religion, sex, disability, familial status, source of income, marital status, andâ€”in the Metro areaâ€”age, sexual orientation, gender identity, and type of occupation. If you ponder that list, you will see that the law addresses factors about us (I say us because we all belong to more than one protected class) that are, while not immutable, nonetheless not particularly within our control. That might not be entirely true about religion, but one only has to think about Northern Ireland, or Bosnia, or Iraq to realize that in most times and places religion is not so much a choice as it is a description of who we are, and with serious consequences.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metro Apartment Manager, August 2006
Q: We nearly had to evict some tenants. But before we filed, we talked them out. They left a car—I can’t tell if it runs or not—in the parking lot, also a couch on the front porch but said we could give it to some neighbors. They said they understood they’d [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metro Apartment Manager, July 2006
Q: I gave my tenants a 30-day no-cause termination notice but they say they&#8217;re going to fight it. So it looks like I will have to evict them. Can you tell me what to expect?
A: Yikes. Isn&#8217;t this the same question we dealt with last month? Well, yes it is. And [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metro Apartment Manager (PDF), April 2006
Q: We’re considering prohibiting smoking in our small plex because we think it will improve the quality of tenants we get. Is that legal?
A: Fair housing laws protect people who belong to protected classes. That means you can’t say you rent to them because they are members of a protected [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metro Apartment Manager, February 2006
Q: Generally, I don&#8217;t allow pets. I did rent to someone with a seeing eye dog one time. Now I have a tenant who simply wants a cat as a &#8220;companion animal.&#8221; Do I have to do that? I&#8217;m inclined to just give her a 30-day notice and ask her to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Metro Apartment Manager, January 2006
Q: Gresham recently increased its business license fee so I’m now paying $25 per unit, which adds up to serious money since we have 60 units. We decided to pass that on to our tenants, so sent them a bill for the annual fee. A few objected that it didn’t seem [...]]]></description>
