I have experienced housing discrimination. I mentioned I was a college student. The person said "We do not want to turn our apartments into dorms therefore we do not rent to college students." I am a 36 year old working online college student. I did contact free legal aid and there is a law that allows for housing discrimination against students. If you have children and they are students as well as yourself you can be denied housing espically under section 42.
Wow! Where do you find people willing to act? 10 years ago I blew the whistle on my employer because they would not let any minorities live in Smyrna Towers, Inc. Despite overwhelming evidence and extraordinary effort HUD's Office of Fair Housing has refused to act. Jim Crow (racial discrimination) is alive and well in Atlanta, Georgia! Contact HUD and demand they STRIKE THE DEATH BLOW TO JIM CROW!
@grogers265 Yeah, these videos make govt employees out to be heroes. But from my experience, agencies like OSHA and the Attorney General's office are corrupt. They actually ignore evidence you present to them, or say they will only look at some of the evidence, or one govt agency will say you have to go to another, and the second agency then directs you back to the first. You get the run-around. I suspect OSHA employees in Tucson, AZ, actually took a bribe from my employer.
Please let me know how I can contact you. I have similar situation and I am doing my own investigation for last 3 month. Government in NYC does not care about any of this situation. You lucky that you find people in a government office who was willing to help.

Wow, isn't it nice of the government to tell homeowners who they're allowed to rent to?
