My landlord will not renew my lease because I'm pregnant.OP posted:I live in NY and my landlord decided not to renew my lease this August because my 1 bedroom is "not suitable for 3 people". I know she allows couples in her apartments because there was one living above me in a similarly sized 1 bedroom. I'm the only one on my lease right now and I would have my boyfriend moving in too. Is there any legal action I can take? We found a 2 bedroom but have to break the least early. Can I stop paying rent since she is being discriminatory? quote:No. You can't stop paying rent on your current contract just because you don't like that she's not renewing the contract. OP posted:An infant does not legally count as a person, though. That's a bold defense but I've got a sneaking suspicion it's not gonna fly EDIT: Oh man her reasoning gets even better OP posted:No lmao. In NY, you are not legally obligated to report any persons under the age of 18 and landlords are not legally allowed to discriminate against families with children according to the fair housing act. quote:Yes, that's true, but that's different from rules on occupancy. If they allow three adults, but not two adults and a child, that's discriminatory. If they don't allow three adults, either, that's not discriminatory. OP posted:What I'm confused about, though, is if I'm not obligated to report minors, then they shouldn't count in the occupancy. It would be different if I were attempting to move 10 children into a one bedroom, because I think that counts as a health hazard in some way. (Not a lawyer or a social worker), but an infant isn't required to have a bedroom and would share ours. The space is plenty big enough. quote:Just because you aren't obligated to report the child, it doesn't mean the landlord can't find out through other means. The classic "If they can't see it, it's not there!" legal defense! Now applied to babies! Danaru fucked around with this message at 13:31 on Apr 28, 2017 |

Danaru posted:My landlord will not renew my lease because I'm pregnant. Fair housing law states that you cannot discriminate based on familial status, and an unborn child cannot be taken into consideration when making lease arrangements. I had to learn all that poo poo when I was working renting out apartments. E: I'm not sure if it was by law, but we allowed a maximum of 2x + 1 residents per apartment, where x is the number of rooms.

Saying that you can't possibly have a baby in a 1br is absolutely insane by NYC standards.

Ride The Gravitron posted:#gbshateswomen I'll hate the woman who demanded the AC be turned off on the long van ride back from a festival because she was cold, tyvm. I was suffering from extreme heatstroke at the time and had a patch of skin that actually turned into a weird sort of raised piece of brown leathery poo poo after a few days. This was on a 98ish degree day in Missouri with all of the humidity.

I don't know much about tenancy laws, but it was the "actually my child isn't legally a person so it's only going to be two people " that tipped me off that she might not know what she's talking about in this case Danaru fucked around with this message at 14:37 on Apr 28, 2017 |

In Oregon you must allow 2 adults and one child per bedroom so pregnant lady may be right about that depending on NY law. Also the fact that she is pregnant and the landlord was dumb enough to say that was the reason for not renewing the lease. That is blatant, overt disparate treatment and family status and pregnancy amd plans to become pregnant or habe children in the future cannot be used as a reson to decline you. That is probably a slam dunk dair housing act case. therobit fucked around with this message at 14:53 on Apr 28, 2017 |

There have been some real winners in the last few pages but I can't get over the guy whose girlfriend tried to murder him while his friends watched with mild concern, and doesn't seem to find anything wrong with this beyond feeling bad that he provoked her.

Hey, some people weigh 115 lbs. Edit: also I just caught up on this thread and missed bird name chat! I like the name Wren though swallows are my favorite bird.

They tend to use weapons and guys end up keeping it quiet because they're really ashamed. And before anyone gets annoyed, I'm not minimizing the huge issue of domestic violence against women, just wanted to say that guys shouldn't be mocked when this comes out.
