Is it a private landlord or a company? We've been really happy with our landlord (this is the second place I've rented from them) so far. If you want their info. let me know.

That being said, there are some fair housing groups around who should have this person on their radar screens. I know that in the Cinti area they were going to rental property places that were thought to be discriminatory, and sent in "spies" to try to rent apartments, and be turned down and what not. Secret stings. If this person is never identified to these groups as a problem starter then she might not make the next sting. I will look into where in Cols is the best, and yes I know there will be lawyers salivating over busting people like her's asses. Poor Olgita, but I think that basket ball comment is on the money. And kids will definitely be curious and maybe a little scared at first, but better kids her age than 12 year olds or something. that fucking sucks, and it might be hard to prove.

But good luck proving. I worked for a real estate company in Columbus OH and I was told what 'types' of people we could rent to and what things we could say to 'dissuade' people from renting voluntarily so we didn't have to turn them down. Since I hated the rules, I rented to several people who were undesirable according to the rules, and these ended up being the best tenants. Not sure what your price range or area of town you're looking in, but I'll suggest properties from Kohr, Royer, & Griffith. They're pretty fair, base their decision on your rental history and credit report only, and are great (or were great) about making needed repairs and fixing any bug problems and taking noise complaints seriously. Good luck. It is a huge violation. But good luck proving.
