Tulsa Housing Authority to Punish Innocent Slumlords

Tulsa Housing Authority plans to place the burden of meth lab cleanup on innocent slumlords, before their property can be rented as Section 8. Homeowners will be required to pay for the cleanup if their property is used as a meth lab.

We, I mean they, don’t rent all of their properties to crackheads, especially the nice homes further south. Crack homes are pocket change to the slumlord. Just ask Carol Lambert, who has probably interviewed someone on the matter.

Not renting to meth chefs is counterproductive. It hurts the economy, tears down the American family and is not a green option. Here’s why:

1) Economy

By placing the burden on the slumlord, you remove the bloated invoices frequently approved by government agencies. Think Skiatook Public Schools. Corrupt businesses will have to lower their prices to stay competitive. This will result in laying-off workers, which will contribute to our continuing drop in sales tax revenue.

2) Family

Crackheads normally have bad credit because of something called the “unfortunate situation.” I’m not sure what “unfortunate situation” means, but it might be when someone is arrested because of mysterious drugs that appeared in their cars. They don’t know whom the drugs belong to or how they got there. This is frequently seen on Cops. Credit checks keep families from renting homes, which can leave children homeless. Do you want that on your conscience?

3) Green Option

Meth labs create hazardous chemicals that must be properly disposed. By not allowing the meth to safely pass through its host, it leaves unnecessary chemicals behind. The green option is to allow the crackhead to rent the home, therefore, leaving the chemicals indoors where they can easily filter through the body.

THA should not place the burden on slumlords. Why add another crack to their system?

Last week I heard about a solution to your problem, it seems some dummies (meth heads) were mixing their ingredients in a vehicle while driving on the highway and I guess the driver hit a pot hole and the van exploded.
You (I mean the slumlords) should put a clause in your (their) rental agreement that the only way meth dealers can make their product is in their van or any other vehicle. Not only will it keep the rental property intact, but the landlord probably will be able to rent their section 8 property sooner and the landlord will get to keep the deposit since the meth dealers broke their lease sooner than expected. Also this might create jobs since the highway department will be making repairs and not the slumlords, who have Section 8 rental property. Also, it will keep our court dockets clear for more important cases……a win win situation for all.
