so I spoke with Sandy about renting an apartment, she said I was the first one to call her and we had what I thought was a great conversation. I told her that I wanted to rent the apartment for my family members who had just arrived from Cuba. she told me I needed to make a certain amount of money, I made way more than that, she then told me my credit needed to be really good, I told her it was and gave her the number and then she said, well because they are new to the US, you might need to pay the entire year in advance.....WHICH I AGREED TO!!!!!! not missing a beat, she said "I am showing the apartment on Tuesday, text me to come see it." I texted her Monday, didn't hear back, texted her again Tuesday didn't hear back and then got a note that said, "we leased it", and she was done, end of conversation. shocked I said, "really so the new renter paid a year in advance and had stellar credit?" she said, the "owner" made the decision and completely dismissed me. I could be wrong and this is just my feeling but I do feel like both sandy and the owner of this apartment building made some decisions that were racially motivated and discriminatory. I will be filing a formal complaint with FHEO department. I have had enough of the subtle racial profiling. read more
