Well, if its private properly then the govt cannot enforce and rules on the property?

To me, if it is your residence then that is different then it simply being their property, and they should have no right to enforce this rule, esp when you have a right to protect your self.

Maybe the lease should ban guns from the parking lots, not the apartment itself. I'm sure that would work.

Amanda Maclklin should probably have her email inbox filled with people expressing their displeasure with prohibiting her residents from protecting themselves. I know now I will not recommend the Cottages to any prospective student due to this.

It's kind of a weird subject. A landlord can limit some rights but not others. Tenants have a right to privacy so they are protected by the 4th but the landlord can limit things like 1st and 2nd amendment rights.

For example, they can tell you that you can not store guns on the property. Store being the operative word, however they can not come in and do an inspection.

I was under the impression that when you get down to brass tacks, like 50% of contracts are bullshite anyway. I have stayed in 3 or 4 different apartment complexes, and the leases never said anything about guns.

University House Brightside
Beau Chene
The one right next to it
Southgate - they saw me multiple times loading/unloading long guns


Would they have to go through the normal eviction process, and what could they do if you didn't remove your piece from the property?

It would be nice to see the wording in the lease. A couple dudes on TD live there.

Are those them tacks on your brass knuckles? I doubt anyone would mess with you if they looked at your hands and saw some brass tacks on them!

I think I'd just go ahead and let them kick me out, after I used my weapon to defend myself or my loved one. I highly doubt they'd be able to do much more than that to you, especially in LA.

The "attached is exhibit B of your lease agreement" part is ownership trying to head off lawsuits against them.

That's a pretty lame arse response IMO. Unless there's more to it, there should have been more of an attempt to alleviate the fears vs. telling folks to "abide or else".


Well they are trying get rid of any liability. You can't do that when telling people to protect themselves at all costs.

I lived in another property owned by the same management group. Someone got mugged at gun point and we got a similar email saying "here are some security guidelines, and by the way, we aren't responsible for your security or your safety nor are we liable for anything that happens to you on our property". These people are TPOS that know most students don't renew their leases at the end of the year and as such they simply ignore you once you move in and start working on signing new people to leases for next year. I actually did renew my lease bc we didn't feel like moving, and these frickers closed the pool from May to July so they could have it looking nice for the new residents coming in August

Most of the residents are probably not old enough to legally own a firearm anyway.

That said....if you live there, own a legal firearm, and feel that it's necessary for your safety -then ignore the letter. In the unlikely event that you are a victim of a home invasion, you won't be concerned about what your landlord's firearm policy is. Do what it takes to protect your own life in that situation. Don't worry about getting kicked out.

I don't think you have to worry about this. The Cottages will not survive for much longer.

They aren't telling you that you can not own guns. They are telling you that guns can not be stored on the property. They would have to be able to prove that you are using one of the units to store firearms.

It's a police to cover their own arse, nothing more.
