[Lnc-business] Resolution Proposal

[Elizabeth Van Horn]

I was thinking the same. It's better to define what something *is*, 
instead of what it's not.

Instead of saying, "rent is not theft", say: "rent is a lawful use of a 
capital asset"

I'd also change the word "retrieval" to "regain possession".

Might want to use terms that are in rental and lease agreements, 
although probably not necessary if the general gist is there.  As the 
resolution is an educational statement regarding property use, not a 
legal agreement. Try this for that last section:


THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, rent is a lawful use of a capital asset, and 
owners of property such as land and
housing, have the right to regain possession of said property, and 
retain a security deposit, if damages violate the voluntary contractual 
agreements.


---------------------------

Oh, and family has owned real estate for many decades, and yes, we 
collect rent. It's not theft. ; )

I'll be a co-sponsor.
