Yep, just read the lease. Nothing in it prohibiting guns, then he can't give you the boot for that.

The queston is: are you still under the initial terms of the lease (usually one year) or have you carried over into a "month-to-month" lease?

If you are still under the calendar terms of the lease, you should be fine (absent language in the lease baring weapons).

If you are in the "holdover" or month-to-month phase, he can terminate the lease with notice (usually 30 or 60 days as specified in lease) for any or no reason at all.

read the lease.

IANAL, but I am a licensed real estate agent and landlord

oFten leases allow a landlord to change the lease with proper notice.Just as cities try to control guns i can see where a landlord might wish to. In this case ,it is probably in the lease.Has anyone ever faced this situation ? sorry i can't resist this little guy !

never had a problem, even with guns stuck in numerous corners as he fixed my sink :)

Wrong. Contract law generally does trump statutory landlord-tenant laws, unless statotory provisions specifically state otherwise.

Yeah, I should have worded that differently. In FL there are statutory provisions that the lease can not take away from from either the landlord or the tenant just because they entered in a lease. I have seen leases with unenforceable clauses. Not to digress from the original intent of the OP I just wanted to make sure the OP should check the statute for conflicts.

the purpose of the federal government is to enforce the bill of rights; the bill of rights exist in the 50 states who decided to join the union. no state may pass a law that will negate a constitutionally protected freedom covered by the bill of rights. the district of columbia got away with their ban as long as they did simply because they are not a state, and are in a kind of undefined territory being called a district.

I will say this again, as I have always said: Constitutionally protected civil rights should not get negated by landlords, cities or states.

It is up to all of us to stand up when incidents like that occur........
