If one gets evicted, I don’t believe they would be liable for completing the lease. Also, is it stipulated in the lease agreement that the residents will not fly an American flag? I had not heard about this and I just got back from our monthly meeting of the Vietnam Veterans of America meeting hereand somebody mentioned it. I googled it on the ‘net and came up with this. Here in Texas the manager of the apartments would be tarred and feathered. In Oregon, it is the flag-flyer who gets tarred and feathered.

While I am totally disgusted with this kind of thing, maybe the better way to go is to hit this place in their wallet.

I know where I live there are so many places for rent, if people who live there are outraged maybe they should just move and let these jerks feel it where it hurts.

I am sure if there are more places to rent than renters they could find places that would gladly let them fly “Old Glory.”
Of course they may have leases and I understand moving is a very large undertaking but if this management thinks they have the last word then they can have empty units.

Also this is not just about the flag it is about control, the neighbor who is not bothered by this stupid rule may be the victim of the next.

Thanks for the updated Solid Citizen – better let the ACLU know because they say the management is within their rights because it is private property.
