: : Is it illegal for a maintenance man to date a tenant?

: No. (I am assuming that the tenant is of age, of course.)

: Any adult can date any adult, as far as the law is concerned. Certain dating situations might contravene various company policies, but there is a big difference between a company's policies and the law.

: (Disclaimer: I am not a lawyer, etc. etc.)

The maintenance man and the landlord also leave themselves open to lawsuits for sexual harassment, discrimination, etc. It's like any office romance: when it works out, it can lead to marriage, when it doesn't, it can get ugly.
