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.

Now tagless for your comfort.
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.

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.

I would ask him to do something about it, and if he refuses, you have another target. He's potentially both better positioned to report it than you and more at risk than the bigot if it goes unaddressed.

that is good. You know, I wonder if she is a good enough client for the agent to commit perjury for her? Doesn't sound like a big client. And the agent may even have professional ethics that would prevent perjury. Not guaranteeing it or anything, but it could happen.

I figure if he is asked to testify in some way, he will. Although, I think I want him to find us an apartment first. We were all set to sign tonight. This is craziness.
I'm going to see if I can sleep now. TCG couldn't figure out why I had to post here right away from the restaurant, but the support of this community is really invaluble. Thank you.

he certainly doesn't want to get caught up in anything like "they told me it was okay". But, one thing to remember, sometimes these sorts of laws don't apply to landlords who have fewer than a certain number of units. If, for example, she's an owner who is renting out her condo, she may not be considered a "landlord" under the law.
