Another problem with the "scorched earth" policy is that he indicates that several neighbors are gun owners too, which might splash back on them. They might neither appreciate, nor deserve, being forced out of the closet. Of course, if most of the occupants are gun owners, the landlord might not enjoy being faced with mass vacancy.
As one former Congressman put it, "Be sure you are right. Then go ahead."

Re: Gun owner - landlord discrimination ?
As part of the eviction process, the landlord will obtain a judgment for back rent and whatever other damages, likely including attorney fees. I understand it can be difficult to collect debts in Texas, but only a complete pauper could pull this off.baldeagle wrote:And I'm saying he should force the landlord to evict him. That buys him more time to find another place without paying rent where he is and hurts the landlord. Win, win.RottenApple wrote:Per the OP, he's not being evicted.

I definitely would not leave on his terms. I'd take full advantage of the law. At least that way it will cost him money. In the meantime I would be looking for a new place. If I found one, I would leave without notifying him. Send him the key through certified mail, return receipt requested.
