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???

It's ironic, really, especially as I know a few US citizens who threw their SSN away on the basis that they are humans and not numbers, lol. Ah well, it's all sorted. Didn't take much, only the information that we contacted HUD. They changed their opinion real quick. I'm glad it's sorted cuz it's the kind of thing I find really irritating. Thank you for your support! *hugs*
