Okay, I woke up this morning to several messages where people have become frightened at the prospect of being forced out due to “DRUG” testing on property.
Some have informed me, that the on property “MAINTENANCE” man is also actively supporting the “NEW” “OUT BY 5” RULE. “CALLED DRUG TESTING” game. People get ready.
I do understand that there are some people who are, and will be problematic living in semi-housing conditions. But to place additional pressure on those who are already bent over, is senseless to me.
Also, I want my readers to know, “I” believe that drug testing for “METH, COCAINE, AND OTHER HARD DRUGS IS WARRANTED” as we do have many children living inside of these “HOLES” – I do believe in respecting neighbors, so smoke your weed outside. (IT’S OKAY)
So, currently the Penleigh is requiring a “BACKGROUND/ CREDIT AND/OR OTHER CHECKS, AND NOW DRUG TESTING.”
–AND SO–
These same people who pay rent, that includes “ACCESS” to the “SWIMMING” pool has been informed in writing “THE POOL WILL BE CLOSED TO LEGAL RENTERS, IN ORDER TO AFFORD THE REGIONAL MANAGER PRIVATE USAGE OF THE POOL FOR THEIR GUEST FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. (READ THE MESSAGE HERE) This to me is a “COMPLETE” insult to us “PO” folks. Paying renters can watch them enjoy the pool from a distant.
—IS THERE A PROBLEM ?—
I’m not a lawyer but I am a reasonable thinking individual, and I personally believe it is illegal to conduct business in this fashion. (VIEW DRUG TESTING POLICIES)
1) “It’s illegal to deny housing because of a handicap. “Chemical dependency is a handicap.” It is a disease characterized by reliance on mood or mind-altering chemicals, such as alcohol, street drugs, and certain “PRESCRIPTION” medications.
I state that only to show you, there are people with “ASTHMA” and other “DISABILITIES” who may be using “CONTROLLED” substances and it’s “PERFECTLY” legal. Excluding someone from housing with a disability, is a “RISK.”
2) This “DRUG” testing mainly targets “PO” folks like me and “MINORITIES” like my husband.
3) It would deny “POSSIBLE NEW” tenants the ability to secure an apartment, and make it possible to “REFUSE” to renew the leases of a handful of tenants who failed the tests “AFTER THEY MOVED IN.” (THIS IS DANGEROUS).
4) THE COST – Who is paying for these drug testing? How much are these tests? and are these testing being conducted in a professional manner and location?, such as “HOSPITAL”? Or, are they conducted in an unsanitary bathroom at that location? Who is LABELLING AND TRACKING these “piss” bottles?
5) Do “PENLEIGH” have money set aside to pay these costs for drug testing, as this must be done evenly across the board?
PO folks, there is a medical review policy to ensure that people taking drugs for “LEGITIMATE” medical reasons are not denied housing.
–IN MISSOURI–
PO folks, you do have a right to privacy as a tenant, and this means that you do “NOT” have to disclose your status as a medical marijuana patient to your landlord or property manager. They also cannot just come in and start searching through your stuff. They should “NOT” be “DRUG” testing you because they smell it on you. That’s what weed does, it stays in your clothing.
–ALSO–
Keep in mind that when you do go “OUTSIDE” to smoke you “LEGAL” weed, that smell follows you back into your “HOLE.” Therefore, even though you have followed their rules, it will be the “SMELL” that gets you. “OH, I GOT TO DRUG TEST YOU CAUSE I SMELL WEED ON YOU.” “ILLEGAL AS CAN BE.”
I suggest that Penleigh be sure to check “ALL” areas of the law, as I feel there are many “CONCERNS” that will come up with this NEW “OUT BY 5” DRUG TESTING GAME.
