Las Vegas landlord who made Section 8 tenant sign sex contract says he did it to protect himself  


Court documents reveal that the woman and her five children desperately needed a home in 2018, as they were living in a residential hotel. The family thought they lucked up when they were approved for Section 8, a federal program that assists with housing.

“But one of the provisions of Section 8 is that once you’re approved, you have to find a residence that will be covered by the program within about 60 days of when you’re approved,” Flammey said. “Now, depending on where she was in that 60-day window when this thing came up, she may not have had other options.”   https://news.yahoo.com/las-vegas-landlord-accused-forcing-195331120.html

Rothstein has pulled off similar stunts with other tenants, sources told KTNV. He is also accused of charging illegal fees and forcing a wrongful eviction after the woman in the latest case refused any sexual encounters.

Additionally, investigators said he listed a fake address for his brokerage, using the location of an auto parts store. The state revealed more allegations, saying the landlord repeatedly made unwanted sexual advances when he had the tenant come to his home to sign documents.
