What is the name of your state? California
As an owner of a condo in an association of less than 100 units, I found out from the police department that a recent registered sex offender is living as a renter in a unit close to mine. I have two small children and this sex offender's crime involved a child under 14 years of age. I contacted the owner of the unit and he did not know he is renting to a sex offender; he did not indicate much concern as he did not live in the unit-he stated that as long as he can't get sued for it, he doesn't care to do anything about it. Question is, what can I do to educated the landlord, association board member and the neighborhood about the risks of housing a registerred sex offender? What risks do landlord and association leaders have in knowingly housing a sex offender? If such sex offender commits another such crime in the premise, can the landlord or association leaders be liable in part by knowingly allowing to house a registerred sex criminal who's record involved a minor under age of 14 in a community with many children? Within legal means, what can I do to convince the landlord in considerring to get a different tenant for his unit?
