She was told she would get a second notice and if she didn’t take the flag down, they would.
“Our soldiers are fighting for this flag, why can’t I fly it?” Lease asks.
We are seeing more and more cases where the American flag is becoming an unwanted sight. We’ve posted a story about a man in California ordered to take own his flag from inside his apartment, a veteran who was fined $8000 and had a foreclosure lien placed on his home for having a tiny flag in his flowerpot, and a story about a Texas man who was told to take down his flag because it was a ‘threat to the Muslim community’.
UPDATE 6/17/2015
House Bill 18, passed this week, prohibits landlords from banning American flags, military and government service flags, as well as the POW/MIA flag.
The new law came about in response to the plight of an 86-year-old woman who was told by her landlord that she wasn’t allowed to fly the American flag from the porch of her rented home.
The elderly woman, Julia Lease of Whitehall, Ohio, made news last year after the media reported that her landlord had left her a note demanding that she remove the flag. Her reply of “not on your life” reverberated around the Buckeye State and the country.

Good for Mrs. Lease and if I lived in that apartment complex, I would be an advocate for everyone living there to give notice to the management of intention to vacate. If everyone moved out of the complex because of their demand they remove their flags, the apartment owners couldn’t possible use the leases to try to collect money from them because it would be the landlord that broke the lease, not the leases. I have lived in apartments many times and I don’t ever recall seeing a section that flying the Flag of our Country is banned. These people need to get the message. Patriotism is alive and well in America and all these Anti-Americans are going sooner than later if they don’t start finding their patriotism again. I don’t think I would trust any of them anymore anyway. If they do what they do for money, then they were never good Americans anyway.
i am so sick of this country kissing ass President Obama i hope lightning strikes you and your family up the ass
Public Law 109-243 says that no leasing agent or HMO can require the Flag be removed. It’s illegal to do so. Good luck.
