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.

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

Don't call them and give them time to cover their asses.
Pardon my language, but fuck that shit.
I have seen people get screwed over too many times when they let the bad guys see them coming.
You know what I mean? I mean no disrespect to and agree with all but that one little detail of what she said.
Definitely contact the ...is it the civil liberties union? americans with disabilities reps? Whomever... but get THEM to investigate. This is what they are paid for.
There was a commercial of just this sort of thing that used to be on all the time.. I wish I could remember the site!

Ah, gotcha! That makes sense. I totally thought you meant landlord. And like I said, the only part I disagreed with was that.
Too many times I have been walked all over, and seen others walked all over because I/they didn't want to be a bitch... and so many get referred to as such when they DO stand up for themselves... but that is so not the case. (and even if it is, in a sense, it is deserved by the party being "bitched at")

We'll have something sorted out by then, but thanks anyway. I really do appreciate it. *hugs*
