I'm adding a link to "Anti-Rent War" if that's ok, since it's an important related topics. Sundiii (talk) 04:13, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

May I please add one or both of these websites since lead paint on rentals, etc, didn't just "disappear" because they passed a "law" against using lead paint & millions of rental units still have dangerous lead paint in them & cause health hazards to children of renters & the renters can't demand the landlord strip off the lead & repaint with non-lead paint: http://www.youhavealawyer.com/personal-injury/lead-paint-poisoning.html and/or http://www.artsrentals.com/protecting-your-family.htm? This is an extremely important topic. So may I add one or both, if they aren't considered "advertising" which I'm not sure about. Sundiii (talk) 04:29, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

I think the first one is spam (youhavealawyer.com), but the second one is fine. But I would consider putting on something like apartment or renting or something of that nature; it's more directly related to those than it is to Landlord. Carl.bunderson (talk) 19:33, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Publican

The use of this term (UK) to describe someone who keeps a public house dates back to the 18th cent. Why the Latin meaning of the same word, which is simply an adjective that refers to a public contractor of any sort (including tax gatherers), should be the only one permissible, especially so long after its earliest use, is beyond me. The Gk term 'telonês' (Luke 15,1)for tax gatherer actually refers to taxes, unlike 'publicanus', which does not Pamour (talk) 14:40, 4 February 2014 (UTC).
