Apartments and apartment buildings or apartment complexes are income properties and business ventures to landlords everywhere in the world. As is true with any other type of business, landlords need customers to sustain them financially.

Customers in the apartment rental type of businesses are called renters or tenants and they are attracted through a variety of apartment marketing strategies which include but are not limited to apartment rental advertising in the printed media as well as through apartment Internet marketing at the countless websites that provide apartment and house rental advertising services to both side of the equation – the tenants and the landlords.

Because rental apartments are a business and in view of the current weak global economy, most landlords go out of their way to cut costs while at the same time attempting to increase their incomings and preserve the value of their properties.

Children may be viewed as miraculous assets to their families and friends but they are considered to be financial liabilities to landlords for a variety of reasonable, although unfair, reasons:

* Children tend to be noisy and make their properties less desirable to other “more upstanding” tenants.As infants they cry; as toddlers they run around making loud noises; as pubescents (pre-teens) they are prone to fits of vocal anger; and as teenagers they play loud music, throw parties, smoke, drink and talk dirty.
* Children tend to be dirty and so many other tenants may not appreciate the potential stench. Infants produce diapers filled with poop; toddlers play with chalk, crayons and mud; pre-teens toss rubbish; and teens simply don’t bath.
* Children tend to attract more children and soon their properties are swarming with little urchins. As if tolerating tenant children is not bad enough, children and parents of children tend to invite other children for playtime, parties and dates.

Advertising rentals What You Should Know

There may be some or a whole lot of legitimacy and truth to these harsh allegations.However, we all know that tenants are often part of families which include children and they are every bit as deserving as anyone else to have a safe and secure roof over their heads, particularly where children are concerned.

To protect tenants with children against discrimination, groups with authority and civil rights organizations have been instrumental in instituting laws that are aimed at preventing landlords from baring families with children into their rental properties.These laws are known as Fair Housing Acts in the United States but other nations have equivalent laws with different titles.

Most of such laws define children as individuals who are under the age of 18 and they include children whose relationship to the applying tenants is biological, adoptive or through the legal proceedings of guardianship.These shielding laws also protect tenants who are expecting a child through natural birth, proceedings for adoption or guardianship.

Regardless of how they are called, these laws make provisions for strict enforcement and punitive consequences for offending landlords. In spite of that, many landlords still continually dismiss tenants or prospective tenants off their properties because they have children. So, many of them end up being reported, sentenced and charged with heavy fines for breaking the law.

Now, if I may be so bold, I would like to offer a few words of advice to landlords and tenants with children.

To the landlords I would like to say: Get over yourselves and remember that you too were children once.

To tenants with children I’d like first of all extend my congratulations for being so lucky. Secondly, I’d like to remind them to be good neighbors by practicing good renting etiquette’s and teaching their children to do the same.
