Re: new development re. discrimination on familial sta by Suzanne (IL) on October 26, 2014 @10:22

                              
I had a family of 7 try this same scam on me.
I was renting a one-bedroom last July.
Prospect set up appt. to view apt.
boyfriend girlfriend showed for viewing.
wanted to give me cash right there for deposit
I gave them application, they refused to fill out, stating they were afraid of identity theft.
i stated no application - no rental
3 days later they showed for another viewing, they had their 'brother' call for appt.
7 showed for viewing; boyfriend, girlfriend, brother, his two kids, the mother and granddaughter
I told them - no, it's a one-bedroom
September I get a call from their 'lawyer'
if I don't rent to them they will take me to court for discrimination.
I told the lawyer the story, he said he didn't care, I had to rent to them
Told the lawyer that I already rented to someone
he said he'll sue me

I just told him; No return for broken merchandise and hung up

How did you know if it was a real lawyer or not? Could have been a friend of the tenant. Most tenants will contact a State Agency about discrimination, not their lawyer. Yell, sounds like a scram.
