[quote=sdduuuude][quote=CDMA ENG][quote=sdduuuude][quote=CA renter]Where in the heck did this idiot seller get the notion that they have the right to this information?[/quote]
Just because they are asking for it doesn’t mean they think they have a right to it.
Not sure if there is anything anyone can do about it. If someone doesn’t want to sell their house to someone else, they don’t have to. Even if they are a bigot. What ya gonna do, put them in jail for not liking you ?[/quote]
Report them to HUD and the Bank? Nothing like tying up a short sale with other legalities.

As FLU said – have to pick your battles. I don’t have time nor inclination to force someone else to act morally unless they are really hurting someone. It’s his/her house. They can do whatever the heck they want as far as I care.[/quote]
It’s not just about “morality.” It’s illegal:
