[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.
She's in flagrant violation of the Fair Housing Act:
It is unlawful to discriminate in any aspect of selling or renting housing or to deny a dwelling to a buyer or renter because of the disability of that individual, an individual associated with the buyer or renter, or an individual who intends to live in the residence.
And the beauty of our litigous culture is that an even-half decent lawyer can come up with all sorts of damages her bigotry has incurred.
Thanks, Sparky and Victor. I think I'll be calling a lawyer friend of mine tomorrow and see what he has to say.
May she, in some freak accident, lose the ability to use her vulva.
Bwah! TCG said he thinks she stopped using that a long time ago. She is probably lucky at this moment that she is as old as she is because I really really wanted to punch her.
I'm really so sorry that she found a way to make this miserable process even more miserable for you, sj.
Safe travels to all the Miracleborns. I'm going to miss you something fierce, and LA just isn't going to be the same without you. We will be something less than what we once were.
Evidence is important in these things. Do you have an obviously disabled friend who could ask about renting, so you have an additional witness. Don't know about the law on hidden cameras or tape recorders. Worth finding out, cause if it is legal you can get cheap portable recorders for under $30 at office max, and they are never the lowest price in town.
Safe travel to the Miracleborns.
I jusr had a woman tell me to my face in no uncertain terms that she wouldn't rent to us because of my disability.
This woman needs a big, fat fine. I want to smack her. I want her to know she's breaking the law.
I took a tumble off our back steps and twisted my ankle tonight. I am an ungainly beast.
Travel~ma for the Miracleborns.
Egad, sj. That's all I have to add.
This woman needs a big, fat fine. I want to smack her. I want her to know she's breaking the law.
I did calmly mention to her that she was breaking the law, at which point she gave us a look of, "I'm old and I can do what I want."
Oh, and did I mention there was a real estate agent with us at the time?
Oooooooh. A witness.
This gets interesting.
She's his client, which probably makes things more complicated, but it isn't just our word against hers.
