It hasn't anything to do with being offended by the national flag. It has all to do with a company which is afraid of alienating potential or real customers. No one besides the company from whom he rents his apartment has complained. This is a problem of the lack of morality in capitalism. Consumer is king regardless of what, since sales is all that matters. So in order to secure future profits, no sale should be lost by the display of a political or religious stance. That at least is their argument.
It's not about anti-american sentiments or anything in that area. Contrary, it's the natural development of a system USA has taken to its heart, regardless of the moral faults of that system. If making a buck is king, then everything else must fade: morality, nationality, religion etc.
