The unidentified woman had applied to the company for new rental accommodation that was fully accessible to her child, but was turned down. She was told by the company that her inclusion on the bad tenant list — for allegedly having skipped payments and for owing money for damages — was one of the reasons it was denying her housing services.
I guess there's a lesson here for all prospective landlords: when you're turning someone down as a tenant because their history shows they are a financial risk, don't tell them that. Lie instead. What a ******g country.
ReplyDeleteI've been through the wringer (to put it mildly) with bad tenants. I'd pay the power and heat bills and have the house sit empty than take a chance on a sketchy tenant who's history I can't review, or who won't agree to be bound contractually for back-rent and damages. The laws are severely biased in favour of tenants with intent to defraud, at the expense of landlords. What a ****g country indeed.
