ie, that LE cannot hold you responsible for the actions of your tenants.
LE can and will hold you responsible for the actions of your tenant(s), and could in an extreme case use RICO statutes to confiscate your property. All they need to prove is that you had knowledge that the property was being used for illegal purposes. Or in the case of a TER member renting to a known provider, the burden of "proof" would be a very low one. Claiming "I did not know" would unlikely to be a valid defense in the case of a TER member renting property to a sexual provider.
I would be more than happy to lease property to a provider for the purposes of her private residence, but I would never consider renting to any provider who I had any suspicion that she planned on using it as an incall location.
If you doubt me, you can ask a certain ex member of TER in the Atlanta area who found this out the hard way.
On one hand, it is public assumption that she makes good money so it's likely you would always receive the rent on time. And b/c her dwelling is also her incall facility, you can imagine the place will be maintained well & kept with great curb-appeal, just as any reputable business presents, for the comfort & continued business of their clients. Like attracts like, & there are professionals abundant, around this upscale little hideaway.
On the other hand, it is majority public assumption, or stereo-type, or prejudice by those too ignorant to realize it takes all types... she may never have the rent in on time, if at all, b/c she lives a lifestyle that consumes the rent money faster than she can make the rent. Along with this stereo-type is good cause to believe drugs, excessive alcohol, and/or drama may accompany the lifestyle of this particular type of escort. (No offense my little alcoholics & drunks, drug users & addicts, & drama-mamas & queens!) This type of person is likely to attract like & this could get ugly.
Now, as a business-minded Lessor, who acquires tenants through a logical & systematic procedure (credit & background checks, employment verification, rental history, character refs, etc), would you consider taking on an escort tenant if she proved to be a responsible benefit to your income? Or would you turn her away before reviewing her application, on the grounds of a bad-rap stereo-type?
Keep in mind that even a school teacher can sometimes violate his lease obligations, have damaging, raging parties that destroy your property & often involve law enforcement mediation. Also bear in mind that if heat results in your tenant and her clients getting arrested on this property that you own, you are not liable or responsible for an act of solicitation in any way.
So really all that is questionable here, is character & financial responsibility, just like with any other prospective tenant. So if she were a "respectable" (hey, be nice guys!) Provider, would you rent your housing unit to her/him?
I would gladly rent housing to an escort. I am renting to a former escort at this very time. What I would not do is knowingly rent her an incall to receive clients. If she got busted I could go down for the class B misdemeanor "Aiding Prostitution".
I will not take that risk so if I knew she was using her apartment/house as an incall I would be forced to evict. Now if she never let me know she was using it as an incall, I would not be guilty of "Aiding Prostitution", and I would again have no issues with renting to her. Even if I had a guess she was using it as an incall as long as I can honestly say I did't "know", it would be cool.
Now for a hot picture of a lady. Photo is of Liza J from Met-Art.com.
It's not a good idea to ever use your personal home to see clients. It can be a threat to the providers safety if someone decides to stalk them, or worse.
As a landlord I have seen my share of nightmare renters. Some seemed like very nice people at first and turned out to be very disreputable in the end. Being a member of TER would give me an insight into how the lady ran her business and thus I would be better able to determine if she was a stable renter.
As a previous poster had stated, I wouldn't want to legally "know" what she was renting the house for and I include a clause about illegal activity in all my rental contracts that allows me to evict based on activity occurring in the home and that includes prostitution. If a provider runs her business correctly there shouldn't be any issues and everyone wins. So the answer is it depends on how she runs her business.
So far, I think this is the best answer. However, GaGambler has reiterated below with seemingly more knowledge about this than I had. Something to think about...
