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?

The guy did the crime and the guy did the time. As part of his sentence, he now has to register. That's obviously how you came to be informed he's a sex offender. There is nothing illegal about renting to a registered sex offender. If you are concerned about the guy, you can either take extra precautions, or you can move. Your call. That is precisely the purpose of registration. To make you aware and to give you these options, as distasteful as they may be to you. That's life.
