I am still seriously peeved about the apartment we failed to get. The one the landlord called and told us was rented. The apartment that was re-listed on cragislist the same days it was "rented." It was everything we could have asked for in a place to live here: unique, hardwood floors, a three minute walk from downtown, affordable, very near to a park and had a very prolific shared garden. Add to that and I still have no real word on my chances for the Good Job™ and I am one easily irritated person. I can't figure out if this is all helpful because the last thing we need is to locked into a lease in this godforsaken wasteland or if I should be getting really pissed because I am going to be here for a while and would like to have Christmas in my own home. More than anything I just really want a time frame on when I can have all my stuff back out of storage.

Methinks you just got discriminated against for having children. Totally illegal and you can report him to Fair Housing!

How sucky. I love that 'hoody.

I believe you're right. I wish I had any sort of anything that I could prove that with.

The fact that they listed it after telling you it was rented is likely enough to warrant an investigation. You can call and talk to an intake person and they can help you determine whether there is enough cause. Worst case scenario, they call the landlord and do not have enough there to file a complaint - but he will be unlikely to deny tenants based on children ever again!

Because I am a nosey parker posey, I totally looked up the on-line complaint process: http://www.hum.wa.gov/CQ/index.html

Cause I am a geek for process.

Thanks, I am miserable at finding things online. I will give them a call on tomorrow when they are open...

Called and filed. An investigator will be calling me back I guess...
