WTF...I make too much money??????

[2 QK 4 U]

Has anyone went to look at an apartment and after telling them how much money you make they reply with "Well, due to governmnet rules you can't live here" "You make too much money to live here" WTF ! I can't believe this crap! I am the true minority:

23 yrs old
White
Single/never been married
No children/dependents besides a cat
Never used the government to support myself

Can anyone chime in and tell me what this world is based on so I can fit in?????

I would bet they get government assistance for their tennants and charge the government way more than the going rate for comparable apartments. Since you make too much they can't get any government assistance and can only get what you would pay them so they don't want you.

That sounds like what I think happened too. In fact, I've been told the same thing in college when I applied at one by mistake. If that is the case you don't want to live there anyways. Though you might be able to get free government cheese!

I agree, you don't want to live there anyway.

From the pictures the place didn't appear to be the "assisted" type.

thats america today

basics of renting is you cant discriminate against race but you can against credit report

nothing there says anything about making too much so If you want to live there go back and let them know that they face discrimination charges if they dont accept your app. and at the normal going rate for your area

That actually looks WORSE than most of the "Section 8" housing in Texas. Ya see, you have to raise the self esteem up first...

I thought it looked pretty decent. Maybe decent for here in Ohio. I've never been to Texas, but I'm sure it's a lot differnet. See, where I'm at now I'm upstairs, the windows are thin and I'm right in front of a busy street, real busy. That doesn't bother me as much as being 32 miles away from my work. That's why I'm thinking about moving.

What I'm biotching about is the fact I felt kinda discriminated against. However, I don't have the time or money to pursue any legality procedures. Oh well, I guess I'm done ranting for now. Thanks for all that replied. Jason

Government sponsored discrimination is LEGAL. Legal procedures would get you NOWHERE. The democrat party has proven time and time again that their is no sympathy for those who are too "rich", too white or too male.

The apartment people are accepting your tax dollars (probably in property tax abatements) to subsidize the rent of the people they rent to. I'd do it to. It's a pretty good scam.
