Well, crud.

I thought I'd found a place for us. Then I told the listing agent I had an assistance dog, but according to federal and state law that shouldn't be a problem. Suddenly the unit was rented out by another agent and the company doesn't have anything else in our price range.

I'm tempted to drive by and see if the place really is occupied, and file a housing discrimination lawsuit if it's not. Because yes, I *am* that much of a bitch, thankyouverymuch.

Today was my lost day to meds. Tomorrow is getting all the medical records. We'll find a place.

call your local agencies RIGHT NOW and tell them this
just what you said here.
ok, well in the morning.

and if they dont have people who have a signed lease before you call, then you have proof of a problem.. but if you wait it gets harder.

and thats NOT being a bitch Deza....
thats not being a doormat
go YOU!
and if its not an honest mistake i know a gator farm in florida we can tour with that real estate agent

oh, and legal or not.... next time do not mention service dog until papers are signed

look... hun.. can i do anything?

i will be vending at darkover (maryland) thanksgiving weekend.
i spoke with hubby. he says if you can come up (dog, kids, you. right?) we can ask the hotel for a handicapped room (its bigger) and you could crash in with us. you just pay for meals and your travel...
we need to know, though since the room we have booked is not big enough for the whole zoo

I don't see what being a bitch has got to do with standing up for your rights. You're probably right. They probably have decided they don't want any dogs. And that being the case, they should be brought to task.

Being a bitch would be to get your friend to ring up and get *this* close to signing the papers, before serving them with the discrimination suit :oP

I would think the base housing office should be willing to help file that complaint.

Definitely file a complaint! You might even enlist a friend to call the realtor and act interested in the property. That may tell you if it is rented or not.

That's totally not a bitchy thing; it's something that I think I'd do in your situation.

I hope, sincerely, that it wasn't a discrimination thing. I mean, I know it sucks if the unit was just lost because someone else got it, but the other options are so much worse because then that means people suck even more than normal.

Like the people said, definitely check it out and complain.
