Illegal imigrant tennants

I have a suspicion that my existing tennants might be illegals..Is it legal for me to ask for proof of legality and if not am I in violation of law as a landlord of same????

To be safe, contact an attorney.

It matters because they are in violation of our Immigration laws. There are thousands of prospective Immigrants who are overseas going through the visa application system and waiting for the opportunity to come here legally.

If they are illegal they need to go...Call imigration and have them checked out..These illegal/unlawful aliens are creating a terrible drain on our economy and our society as a whole.As far as I am concerened the people that hire them are just as bad as the unlawfuls. If they had no work they would stay home.Also if they had no where to live they wouldn't stay long.

I agree with having to hire an attorney.

Its a shame...and a sham, when an illegal has more rights than you or I do!

Protecting yourself is number one...but why would/should you have to??!!

Sick ICE on them.

To my knowledge, the class of "illegal immigrants" are not a protected class, such that they would fall under the protection of any housing discrimination statutes. While it sucks to kick paying tennants out of their home, I guess that's the risk they run when they come here illegally.
