Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History  

[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.

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.

Vortex, I know that applies to a lot of DC's laws like rent control and stuff--they have to own/rent four or more units before that kicks in, but does it apply to federal laws like race/gender/disability discrimination? That would be lame ass if it did!!

To understand what happened at the diner, we shall use Mr. Papaya! This is upsetting because he's the friendliest of fruits.

Seriously, don't ask anyone to do anything until you talk to a lawyer.

Of course not. I won't be contacting anyone directly. I will be calling a lawyer and probably the city's disability commission tomorrow.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

She's his client, which probably makes things more complicated, but it isn't just our word against hers.

Whether or not she's his client, he's all kinds of licensed and bonded and responsible for knowing the law in these things.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."

I realize that, and I marked your post (thank you). What I don't know is if I were to pursue it, what could happen to her?

I'm sorry if I sounded snappy. I'm just so angry with her. I can't stand people like that. I've seen people discriminate against hurricane victims, people on Section 8, and of course people who just don't conform to whatever standard of "the right people" are. Just this Saturday, I had a man in my class who had a major accident the result of which was a brain injury. He's clearly a normal functioning human. He speaks a little slowly and has seizures is all. After the class he was talking to the realtor I had speaking and the way he was treated by realtors, landlords, and some brokers was appalling. My realtor gave him the contact numbers for everyone he could possibly call on the assholes.

There's a reason why it's my rule #1 DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE!!!

Also what amych said. If on the agent's card it said REALTOR with a little trademark, they are all kinds of required to abide by codes and whatnot.

We interrupt this rant to wish the Empress, MM and the lovely princess, along with their animal entourage, safe journey.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

All kinds of ~ma for the Miracleborns on their journey eastward. Safe, smooth travels and a lovely new life at the end of the road.

I got my interview set up for the position I really want. Now I have to wait a Whole Week until then. Patience? Not one of my virtues.
