Being a registered sex offender is not covered by anti-discrimination laws. It is not a protected characteristic. In most states, a landlord can refuse to rent to an offender who reveals his or her status in an application or if the offender’s status is uncovered in a criminal background check.

'Risk Level 2 offenders present a moderate risk to the community and they have a higher likelihood of re-offending than level 1 offenders. They are considered an increased risk to re-offend because of the nature of their previous crime(s) and lifestyle (drug and alcohol abuse and other criminal activity). Some have refused to participate or failed to complete approved treatment programs. They may have more than one victim and the abuse may be long term. These offenders usually groom their victims and may use threats to commit their crimes. These crimes may be predatory with the offender using a position of trust to commit their crimes.'

Your landlord has exersize their right not to renew your lease.

Whether you are a landlord or a convicted sex offender, a good lawyer will be able to advise you of your rights and duties.

"Whether you are a landlord or a convicted sex offender, a good lawyer will be able to advise you of your rights and duties." First, would you please cease and desist with the legalize for just a minute? You don't need to clog this forum with paragraph after paragrapgh of copied material. It really is not that helpful. Just tell people how or where to find the info and let it go. We'll still be impressed by your breadth of knowledge and your Internet search skills. Second, OP is neither a landlord nor a convicted sex offender. So, how is that part of your post even applicable?

Don't know what your problem is, but like a few other landlords. I did not know what a risk level 2 sex offender was. No one forces you to read anyones post, and if you feel whats posted is not helpful to you, it may be helpful to someone else. I rather have correct information posted then something written off the top of someones head that may or may not be correct. I'm wondering just how many of us landlords would know how to handle a sex offender tenant. Compared to some of the stuff posted lately, I'm glad someone post information that can be helpful.

Always someone who puts themselves in charge of what people can post and what they can say. You are not in charge of this forum and whats posted!
