Question

[lady_karelia]

I know there are a lot of clever people on my f-list, and a lot of you are here in the US. My question is: Can something be done when someone refuses to rent out an apartment on the basis that one family member does not have a social security number? I'm raging right now, as this kind of stance puts me on the same level as illegal immigrants. Now, we're neither here illegally nor are we immigrants. And seriously, do they expect the holder of a professional work visa with a gazillion qualification to sleep in the park under the tree???

I know nothing about landlord/tenant laws, but I'm adding my voice to the chorus of WTF and sympathy...

Thanks, my friend. I could be planning the Chicago trip instead of trying to find relevant laws to hold under their noses. :(

Seriously. TN -> Chicago. Way more fun.

Wish I could do more...

Oh, that was tasty, thank you!

I'm still trying to hunt for smallish leeks (forget baby leeks here now)... One day, I'm sure, I'll be successful.
