Hello!My answer is absolutely! This is what Trump tweeted:It was exactly three years ago today, January 20, 2017, that I was sworn into office. So appropriate that today is also MLK jr DAY. African-American Unemployment is the LOWEST in the history of our Country, by far. Also, best Poverty, Youth, and Employment numbers, ever. Great!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 20, 2020Only Trump can make MLK Day about himself. He’s also basically saying that his inauguration is more important than honoring and celebrating MLK’s birth. Fun fact: In 1973, Trump and his klansman father, Fred were sued for refusing to rent apartments to black people.The Justice Department’s 1973 lawsuit against Trump Management Company focused on 39 properties in New York City. The government alleged that employees were directed to tell African American lease applicants that there were no open apartments. Company policy, according to an employee quoted in court documents, was to rent only to “Jews and executives.” Here’s the link to the story and more: An Oral History of Trump’s BigotryFurthermore if you want to talk about unemployment numbers; Barack Obama lowered black unemployment from 16.8%, remember the financial and economic disaster George Bush catapulted us in, to 7.5% when he left office. That’s a difference of 9.3 percent. During Trump’s first three years in office, it dropped an additional 2 percent. And, of course, he’s not done wrecking things yet. Here’s the link to that story: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2020/01/17/trump-takes-credit-low-black-unemployment-rates-most-black-voters-largely-disagree/So, no, Donald Trump is not a hero to African-Americans. Martin Luther King Jr. freed and most of all, inspired people; Donald Trump is a racist, birther conspiracist who seperates immigrant children from their parents at the border.MLK had a dream…

Landlords in the US are not generally required to rent to people based on a first come first serve standard. I believe there may be a state or city that has tried or is trying something like this, but I could be wrong. Regardless, if such a thing exists here it would be very rare.Landlords are generally allowed to choose who they like to rent to based on all sorts of qualifications. Just because someone is interested does not mean they will rent or that they are qualified, financially, to rent. As long as the landlord is not rejecting someone for an impermissible reason such as race, family status, and so on, then they may reject for any reason or no reason at all.Landlords certainly do not have to hold an apartment open just because someone expresses interest. Interest doesn’t mean anything. If a landlord had to stop showing every time someone expressed interest it would be very difficult for them to find a tenant who actually completed the application, qualified, and then signed a lease.Once the lease is signed, until the lease is effective, the landlord can still take people in and out of the property as s/he pleases. The landlord cannot rent the property to someone else without consequences based on the signed lease though. Once the lease is effective, the landlord would not be allowed to have people in and out of the apartment any longer, but for necessary repairs, showing if they are going to sell the place, and so on.

Myths about rentingBuying a house is a serious financial decision that requires a lot of effort and preparation. Although homeownership is often portrayed as a pinnacle of the American Dream, it doesn’t suit everyone.Realtors tend to use certain tactics to pressure people into buying a house such as rising real estate prices and missing out on an opportunity to create equity. But before you jump into the real estate market, you should think about a number of things. Among them is how long you want to stay in an area and how quickly you want to see returns on your investment.Renting typically gets a bad rep, however, with rentals on the rise nationwide, the profile of a typical renter is quickly changing.1. You are wasting your moneyThe old adage repeated by real estate agents is that paying rent equals to wasting your money. This is an oversimplification, as brokers typically keep quiet about all of the hidden costs that are involved in buying a house such as a renter's insurance and other fees associated with your mortgage application, closing costs and beyond. Although you are not building the equity, you are paying for a place to live and take time while trying to figure out whether you eventually want to buy a property or not.2. If you have roommates, you can’t leave as easilyWhen you have roommates, you are responsible for your part of the rental payment. That means that if you decide to move out, you have to find someone who will take your spot.Still, as a renter, you have a much greater mobility than a homeowner. A job offer comes up in another state? You can pack up and leave, provided that you pay a fee to break the lease. As a renter, you have the freedom to change your place of residence as many times as you want compared to the homeowners who are tied up to one location for a number of years.3. It’s hard to get out of the leaseA common misconception about renting is that it’s hard to get out of a lease. Renters can sign a lease that lasts anywhere between 6 months to a year, however, when you have to relocate, there’s no way around breaking it.If you don’t want to pay a hefty fee that typically equals to a one-month rent, you can sublet your apartment. Before you do that, make sure that subletting is allowed.If the apartment you rent is part of the property management company, you can check if they have sister properties in the city where you are relocating.4. Your landlord is responsible for all repairs and replacementsAlthough your landlord has to maintain premises in good condition, make sure you understand what your individual responsibilities are before you sign the lease. It’s not uncommon for landlords to require tenants to repair and replace items or deduct broken items from the tenant’s security deposit upon moving out.5. Rent prices are non-negotiableWhen you are hunting for an apartment or house, remember that you can always negotiate the price with a landlord. Negotiating is typically easier with an individual landlord as opposed to a management company whose prices are regulated by a corporate office. Still, don’t be afraid to ask a property manager of an apartment complex if they can make any concessions to sweeten the deal.6. Owning is more mature than rentingA common stereotype is that a person who buys a property is more fiscally conservative and more responsible than the one who is renting. This couldn’t be further from the truth, as an individual's living situation is often defined by a set of circumstances. An individual who is renting might be doing so because of his or her job situation or other financial commitments.Visit EBuyHouse for more advice whether you should buy or rent.
