I received a phone call Friday afternoon. The first words out of the callers mouth were "I am a convicted felon and a registered sex offender. Do you have one bedroom rental?"
I must say I was shocked. No one has ever asked me that question in that way. All I could think about were liabliity issues. And why would anyone rent to someone like this?
I sent an email to our mls, and one agent says he has something we can look at. I did talk to an advocate for the young man, and she says the charges are actually the result of a horrible joke that ended with a suicide. The legal system seemed to make a mess of this situation according to her story.
I have not researched his story, but I am concerned about what a Realtor can and should do in this situation. Convicted felons and registered sex offenders have to live somewhere.
Any words of wisdom or advice would be appreciated.
