		<description><![CDATA[In Law School, both Lexis and Westlaw try to indoctrinate you with their research databases. Students are given almost unlimited access to the most comprehensive legal databases in the world. For free. The dreamworld of legal research as a law student comes to a screeching halt in the real world.

		<description><![CDATA[The requirements for exemption under the Fair Housing Act require additional elements, however we are only concerned here with the meaning of "[no more] than three such single family houses..."

In short, case law holds that possession of any single family home, even if it is the landlord's primary residence, counts towards the three allowed single family homes.

Discussed in greater detail below, there are three cases that deal with this question, specifically, and their holdings are presented in chronological order below.

		<description><![CDATA[An action for trespass is designed to protect an owner's interest in exclusive possession of real or personal property in its intact physical condition. Therefore, a trespass is an injury to property committed by one not rightfully in possession. A trespasser is one who enters onto the property of another without any right or lawful authority. Trespass to land, trespass to chattel, and conversion are separate intentional torts designed to protect personal property from wrongful interference in different scenarios.  Trespass to chattel and conversion, which overlap in part, are derived from different historical origins.  In many, but not all instances, both torts may be applicable.

		<description><![CDATA[The action of false imprisonment descends from the the common law writ of trespass and is one of the oldest causes of action in our legal system. An action for false imprisonment is intended to compensate an injured plaintiff whose freedom of movement has been unjustifiably hindered. In other words, when an individual is restrained without legal justification from going where he or she has a right to go, the individual may assert a cause of action for false imprisonment and is entitled to recover money damages.

		<description><![CDATA[Proximate Cause differs from cause in fact, although together they make causation for purposes of negligence. Courts will also interchange phrases. In order to prove proximate cause, the plaintiff has to show that the causal relationship between the defendant's conduct and the plaintiff's injury was not too attenuated, remote, or freakish to justify imposing responsibility on the defendant.

		<description><![CDATA[Personal Jurisdiction refers to the courts power to enter judgement against a defendant. Without personal jurisdiction, the court cannot bind the defendant to an obligation or adjudicate any rights over property. Personal Jurisdiction can be exercised when a defendant has met both statutory and constitutional requirements. Personal Jurisdiction can be either Specific or General, and determining which is applied depends on the types of contacts a defendant has with the state.
