I have lived at 13610 n, 51 ave at the glenridge apt complex for 5yrs with my wife and child. I've been late on the rent once. I slipped the rent chk in hte provided on the 3rd of july, chk was cashed on the 5th of july and on the 12 of july I recieved a notice that the rent was late. \r
I do not believe that it was late and said so to people the apt mgr. here. The person I talked to came to glenridge called me and asked that I come to the office. I did, then she informed me they were not going to apply the late fees. I said thank you and was getting up to leave, at this point she said and BTW we are not going your lease either. Lease ends on Aug 31 2011.\r
I then asked why? She pulled out a 10 day notice about disturbing the peace of others back in march, I think, anyway it was months ago. She then asked me to sign a piece of paper signifying that I agreed to this, I rerused. I am talking to a lawyer later today 7-29-2011 all this happened yesterday at approx 3:45p.m.. \r
Is this housing discrimination, or against the law ?\r
I hope to god it is. I have done nothing but stand up and express what I believe to be true. How can I be refused housing for doing that?\r
It is my belief that the apt mgr is annoyed w/me and wants me out.. Before the fair housing act of 1968 landlords could do this to blacks and any other minority they so chose to do it to, or to anyone they just did not like. \r
It is my belief that this is what is occuring here, they simply do not like me, and want me gone.\r
Fair or not they may be able to accomplish this.\r
Absolute power corrupts absolutely.\r
Anyone know any good contingency ACLU lawyers. I may need one.
