We have two conflicting sets of rights here, the right of free association of the landlord and the basic human rights of the tenant. All these issues are about conflicts between rights. This is the central point of our disagreement. I don't think a prospective tenant has any natural or constitutional right to the prospective land owners property. Almost indisputably they don't have a right to extra space that I decide not to rent out to anyone. I don't think they gain a rightful claim to it if I announce that I might be willing to rent it out to someone. I don't think this changes as a matter of principle if we were talking about a large apartment complex rather then my spare room. It might be different as a practical matter but not in principle. At least we have found the core disagreement rather then dancing around irrelevant sub issues or trading insults. That might be rare in this type of discussion. Almost enough to make one want a group hug. <g> Tim
