[RPPTL LandTen] RESIDENTIAL LEASE QUESTION -- DRUG TESTING OF TENANTS ?

Martin Lawyer

Mon, Aug 10, 2015 8:41 PM

Dear RPP&TL L-T Folks:

               I have received a query from a tenant advocate about the validity of a landlord's requirement  --  written into the lease  --  that the tenant submit a urine sample once a year as a condition of tenancy and lease renewal.

               Opinions  ?   Harry Heist ? ?
