I wonder if the underlying problem is that it can set precedent against the entire business model of “child-free living complexes” and similar “retirement residences, non-paliative/long term care”. Both of those models, by design, restrict tenants based on age.
Before asking this next question, I’m in no way advocating for this. Why does a corporation get to benefit from these while a smaller or singular party cannot? Where do we draw the boundary or why do we maintain it? Is the problem because those in charge are benefiting from it via passive or direct investment?
If it’s not ok to discriminate against a family with children looking to rent a home, why can that same family not rent an apartment in a retirement complex or other style residence where non-retired adults without children live by design?

I looked into this the other day. To my understanding, he can still appeal without posting the bond. The bond simply keeps the plaintiff from seizing assets before or during the appeal process.
The bond simply acts as a deposit in the event the defendant loses the appeal, which is why there is interest added from the start.
This is terrifying. Thank fuck I’m not in the US. I already get anxious when some random knocks on my door. If they started spouting off about praying for me and my family I’d be weirded right the fuck out.
Granted, I love my physical privacy. I generally don’t answer the door to plain cloths unless I’m expecting someone. My 5 year goal is to move outside of my current town and have no neighbours. Preferably with a nice long driveway that I may install a gate on at the road.
I was actually just thinking today that when I get my new L desk at work and privacy screens, I’m gonna get a sun lamp and grow my own grass in a pot on my desk.
I work in IT and taken on a much more removed roll, so it makes sense because I get out even less now.
That’s awesome! Do it up! I’m so looking forward to the extra space. I’ve considered being impatient and taking over the spare desk next to me lol people just keep using it for storage and it’s making the big boss twitchy, so it would really be two birds one stone…
I’d wanna try and keep it a native type though, I’m in an industrial setting and our environmental people would probably flip my desk if they caught wind of non-native plant introduction on site… they’re super dire all the time.
All “we need this data for our month end and it hasn’t been populating for 3 weeks! The government regulator is going to fine us into oblivion blah blah blah”. One time they flipped out because it had been something like 3 months of no data but they didn’t tell us until a few days before the current month’s due date. Really hard to take them seriously on their issue priorities. But they totally flip my desk for bringing fancy grass lol
The Canadian Armed Forces has received more than 21,000 applications from permanent residents eager to join the chronically understaffed military full time — but CBC News has learned that less than 100 of them have made it into the regular force in the year since they were allowed to sign up.
When I tried just a couple years ago it was 6 or 7 months before I got a follow up. It’s also not intended for people with children, at all. They told me it would be at least 1 year of mandatory barracks living with multiple locations during that time, some for as short as 3 months.
Ultimately I decided against because I have young children and I didn’t want to miss that much time, knowing I’d be physically and mentally drained on weekends which would possibly be the only time I might be able to see them.
Happy I didn’t pursue it further because I landed the career change I was seeking in the private sector instead with a much higher starting wage and I’m home after work every day.
