I figure if he is asked to testify in some way, he will.

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!!

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.

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.

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.

Excellent.

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.

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.

Interview~ma, ChiKat. I understand the patience thing - see my tagline.

Still kicking myself over that missed job op. I know the right thing will come along and if my program manager finds out I'm looking before I have found something, it can't be much uglier than it has been lately.

I understand the patience thing - see my tagline.

I love your tagline. And, I'm in good company with you and Nicole!

I am so sorry work has been so ugly for you lately. It shouldn't be like that. All kinds of ~ma headed your way on getting something else quickly.
