Would it be wrong to only rent to women in need and make the following offers? Would ladies even consider this offer?

[libsaretards]

I am building a house soon. The terms of the mortgage will be affordable so I do not need to charge a specific amount of rent to maintain it as I can already do so myself. The house has an upstairs area that would be mine and nobody else is allowed to access. Downstairs would have 3 bedrooms with their own bathrooms, queen bed, 2-seat table and a gun safe with customizable code (can be used to store things other than firearms). The doors would have a deadbolt and 3 latches for locks of the tenant's choosing. I have a preference for female roommates and my mother was a victim of domestic violence so I'd like to rent to women in need. Below would be my offer:

Rent would be advertised as $500 per room, but could be negotiated case by case and even waived for a limited time. A college student on her own vs. a woman with a career have very different circumstances and I'm willing to craft individual agreements to ease burdens where I can, but the agreement would be worded so that they cannot just be mooches.

Ladies could negotiate a clause where, in exchange for paying an agreed upon additional amount to rent, they get the ability to keep the furniture when they leave if they leave on good terms. If they paid any extra and things went bad, they would get that money refunded. This money would be to replace the furniture if needed.

Separate from the rent, I would be willing to offer any help I could to prepare the ladies for self-defense, including: Covering 50-75% of the cost of a martial arts class of their choosing and helping them obtain a firearm (for this assistance they would have to successfully get a carry permit so that I know they can legally have a firearm. I would pay for the permit class and fees). Upon successfully getting the permit, I would go half on their first firearm. If they wish to get the firearm on their own, then I would not care about the permit since I would not be involved in the purchase.

Very good idea

Nobody would agree to this

I'm open to having this idea altered. The main goal is I want to use my ability to rent out rooms to create a safe place for abused women. Then, when I have a 2nd property to myself, turn this property into a place with a full-time mission to help abused women in need

Someone may agree to this, but will say over all sounds a little sus with some parts of it
If you want mostly woman and you live above il say be good to possibly try to get more then one, or else even more if they where attacked in the past it sounds like a lot of warning signs even if your intantions are good

Also I feel like you willing to pay too much for help to this woman for defence, where in the end in most cases its not going to be what will really help, overall Il say this sounds like something that will just go messy even if it meant to help and will recommend to possibley talk to a shelter about it and get a good idea what woman after an attack may need, and how to help if that is what you wish to do, they can likely give you a brode view on many cases

Thanks for the feedback. This was just an idea that I had. I had been considering house hacking (the term for renting rooms out of a house you own and live in) for a while and it occurred to me "why not rent to tenants that I can help" and my first thought was domestic violence survivors. I am in law enforcement so I see this abuse all the time

[Red-Blaze]

So I really recommend talk to a shelter around you, they can give great advise possibly if you do it how to get it on the best side I believe
And honestly giving a gun and stuff like that to someone that may have PTSD and stuff I'll say could end badly
Talking to people with experience on it I think will likely shade some light and ideas on how you can do this maybe in the best way

[libsaretards]

Maybe scrap the gun idea, but I really like the idea of making my home a haven for women who need a fresh start. The idea would be that, as soon as I get a 2nd property to myself, turn this property into a place that has a more full-time mission to helping abused women.

[Red-Blaze]

Gun may be good, I don't know I know I personally will not trust my self with one.
But talk to shelters its the best place to get data
Also they may be able to tell you that possibly keeping access to help them is important or maybe even that there are male victims that this may be better help for

I really don't know, but I am sure asking them will be a good path to take regardless, and as you work in law enforcement I assume you know there number and all

[libsaretards]

I am law enforcement, but in corrections. We do not have access to the community like police do. Our job is strictly in the jails/prisons managing inmates

[Red-Blaze]

Ow ok.. anyway find a contact.. get in contact.. they just be able to offer the best stuff that you may want to know to get your idea on the best way

[Red-Blaze]

Thanks for MHO

The issue with others like this one is it sounds way too good to be true and that it's focused on women may make them feel u have other motives as you clearly are nit benefiting from this situation

[libsaretards]

True. I kinda want my house to be a haven for abused women. I just don't know the best way to execute it. I'm open to anyone being my roommate, but I would want to give women in need the first chance. I really would not have any ulterior motives. The hard part would be proving that.

[boggboss]

Thats it proving u don't as the amount of power u would have over someone in a situation like that if it was for a women in need would be crazy maybe do what the person under said and contact your local abuse shelters for advice
