Dead Statute.

“This Is an enlightened community." “How’s that?” “If a landlord refuses to rent an apartment ,to a couple with children he can be haled to court and fined.” “That’s the right Idea. How does It work ?” “Not worth a cent. There’s no law to prevent a landlord from boosting the rent to a prohibitive figure.” —Birmingham Age-Herald.
