Get up out of that so I can take one more punch at you!

Sadly, Everett would need to wait for the Fair Housing Act of 1968 for this landlord’s behavior to be federally illegal. It’s unclear what state Mr. True lives in (besides anger, obviously).

I don't have kids and won't. In my experience as a tenant renting various crap shacks, both children and adults can be loud and annoying, so it's not like renting to adults only will bring the noise level down. Kids run around and scream, but adults work on endless home improvement projects, or have lots of loud argumentative sex, or play an electric drum kit until 2am. Lots of variety. Point being that anyone has the potential to be a bad neighbor.

I'd like to humbly apologize for my behavior from 2009 to 2013. I was in a house but I was definitely doing all of these. I did use headphones for my electric drum kit, though.
