Are you against the rights of private business owners to do as they please with their own property?

This statement doesn't make sense in this context. The apartment complex is in the US. It is reasonable to believe people in the US would fly US flags. If you don't want this to happen it should be in the lease contract. He is saying and the article supports that he has not been given any reason why he should remove the flag. I would think that would include the lease contract.

Doesn't he pay to use the property? You don't think he should be allowed to decorate the apartment he pays for in whatever way he deems fit?

He says they haven't provided him with any reason requiring him to remove his flag. It would need to be noted in his lease that he can't hang his flag in such a manner and if it isn't then he is within his rights.

No, I'm against unAmerican assholes. I'm not looking to have the FBI intervene, I'm looking to shame the shite out of the guy who doesn't want an American flag flown in America.

While I agree with you on the Hypocrisy of the right (and our side too).
I have to say I think it's shitty to tell an American to take down an American flag.
I would let a tenant fly any flag they wanted. (except the Confederate Battle Flag and the German WW2 flag).
Hell there are places in Baton Rouge flying the Iranian flag (Persian rug stores). I really wouldn't care.
