re: Louisiana Domestic Violence/Rental Property Law

How I read it is:
C: I can't forbid my tenant from calling the police, and I can't charge a fine if they do. (Who would do that???)
D1: I can not disqualify a potential tenant based on the fact that they have been subject to domestic violence in the past.
D2: I can not kick someone out (terminate lease, evict, or not renew lease) because they were a victim of domestic violence.
F1: If the tenant is a victim of domestic violence, and has the written documentation outlined in E, they can terminate the lease early without risk of losing deposit, unless the deposit is held to cover damages.
F2: If there are multiple tenants named on the lease, and one of them qualifies for part F1, than all tenants are released from the lease.
I have a few problems with this law. If couple A and B get into a fight, and B hits A, then I have no problem with releasing A from the lease. However, B should not be released from the lease.
If friends A and B are renting a unit, and A's significant other spends the summer break there, and a domestic abuse occurs, why should anyone be released frim the lease? Simply kick the SO out, and A and B can live happily ever after.

quote:Part of this law, I imagine, is to allow A to relocate so B doesn't know where A is, which may be necessary in extremely abusive relationships.

Hells bells! Who wrote that law, Gloria Steinem with Barney Frank and Gloria Allred's help... while the spirits of Che Guevara and Chairman Mao chimed in?!
