Are my rights being violated?

I live in the Government Housing Projects. The office says that if i have a man spend the night at my apartment they will evict me. My lease says i can have guests up to 14 days without written permission from landlord. But in their eyes if i have a man over i must be sleeping with them. My argument is they cannot prejudge me. For all they know i could be a lesbian. I have girlfriends over all night and they say nothing. What right do they have to tell me what gender of person I can have spend the night with me. Is this not considered harassment. My lease also says that I have the right to live peaceably without being harrassed. Are they not in violation of my lease. Should I file an harrassment suit against them of just let it alone and put up with their rediculous rules? Any legal answers needed please!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes your rights are being violated... if you live in Canada you could probably do something, but it seems to me you live in the US and i dont know the US system is retarded when it comes to rights.

The office has no right to govern as to who you bring home to spend the night and your lease says the word "guests" right? the word "guests" does not really clarify if the contract was refering to a guy or a girl.

mmm... smells like someone is going on to judge judy :D

Ah, where's Judge Wapner when ya need him?!

They are being rediculous. You should file a comlaint with the Housing Authority about the person or people telling you that. It's ubsurd!

I think what they are trying to do is prevent the making of more Government housing projects tenants.

Where on earth do you live that someone can dictate who can and who cannot stay at your home???

You may have free legal advice facilities available to you through the government - I'd check with them first. They can probably give you a quick answer and you won't have to pay expensive legal fees for consultation. If they think you have a case they may even take it up for you pro-bono.

You can invite anyone you like to spend the night, and they have no right to dictate what you do or not do in your premises, short of breaking the law of course.

File a harassment suit.

I'm not a lawyer or in any way working in the legal community but I do believe that your first amendment rights say the pursuit of Happiness. If having a man over and having sex or not with this man falls under the right to pursue happiness than yes thier violating your 1st amendment rights.

I would assume that your "Housing Project" would have to file suit in court to evict you and that they couldn't just legally throw you out of your apartment without some order of a court. I am also assuming your male guest is not staying with you for periods that exceed two weeks. If that is the case, you should have a valid defense if their reason is due to your guest, as your lease clearly states your ability to have guests for no longer than 14 days without written permission. I would ignore the statements from the office. They are not controlling in the mater.

You could file a complaint, you have every right too. You could contact a highter authority or maybe maybe even a lawyer. In the end you loose. I suggest you just move. Goverment employees never get fired and they will make your life a living hell.

Apprently in the eyes of the "holieer than thou government that doth no wrong" they are right and the hell with you your poor so you have no rights.
This is what our country has come to.
So I hope their proud of their "democracy" become communist now.

This doesn't sound like it's coming from the Gov.Housing rules-but rather from the person/persons running the office. If it doesn't state in the lease that a member of the opposite sex can spend the night with you then call the Housing Authorities and ask them about it. Hey-call anyway! This is discremination even if it is in writting! Don't delay! Then call a public assistant lawyer-preferably one that specializes in human rights. Good luck!

What does it say exactly? Have they stayed over more than 14 days? Don't think about "in a row". You could possibly be in violation if you are reading the contract wrong.
