Elodia Royce got a warning from her landlord two weeks ago that threatened her with eviction because she has an American flag on display in one of the windows of her Happy Valley, Ore. home.
 
Royce, 58, claims a neighbor complained to the landlord about the “colored drape” in her window, which has been there for six years, notes CBS Seattle.
 
"It says all colored drapes need to be removed from the windows, but our flag is not a drape," Royce told KGW (video below).
 
“They fought for our freedoms and this is a freedom I should have,” added Royce. “My grandfather, aunts and uncles served. My ex-husband served in Desert Storm and his entire family are military folks.”
Flags are not mentioned in Royce's rental agreement.
 
"I did tell my daughter I may have to move and my grandson started crying, then my daughter said if you have to move, we will move too," said Royce.
 
Royce's landlord, Cascade Rental Management, has refused to comment.

Why do we always have to make things difficult because someone is offended or someone doesn't like what we do. Seems stupidity keeps running rampant.     Unbelievable
She was most likely there first so let it be. It's like people who buy a house near an airport then complain about the noise. Really !!!!!.

Why doesn't she just pin it on a wall in the bedroom? Why cause trouble?

I lived in a condo where only white backing type of window treatments were allowed. You sign the agreement, end of story.  I understand her loyalty and the fact she is proud of her military family, but rules are rules.

If you worked in a conservative company and came dressed in a flag wrap dress, do you think your boss might make a comment about it?  Sheesh people. Enough already!!!

Sounds like it is a moot point now, but from the first video, she had approval from the management and had been fling the flag in the window for over 6 years. In other words, her landlord really did not have a leg to stand on.
