Reply to comment by DirectorBeneficial48 in Landlord ran a credit check post rejection by DietMediocre8993

Let me give some more info: The management agent since Friday have been ardent in asking us to leave at the end of February, today she gave a final rejection quoting sub-lease as the reason, nothing about credit score. And then I get a credit check report from her. So I have to assume, that it at least takes a few minute to do a credit check?!

I'm not saying you're wrong here, because they're probably just being asshole landlords (but I'm repeating myself). I'm simply questioning the timing aspect. If you suspect discrimination, document everything you've got and send it to a lawyer - perhaps there's a pattern.

That said, without a ton of evidence, it's a hard case to prove. Look at ol Don Trump back in the 60s and 70s - they basically had to prove by his own sheer malice and stupidity that he was guilty of it. They literally found applications with a big C written on them for "colored" to show a pattern of discrimination against black people.
