My girlfriend and i have been looking for an apartment and found what would be the perfect one for us.  She viewed the place and loved it on friday and monday morning she placed a deposit; which the lady showing the property said would hold the apartment.  After leaving, another couple came in and asked to view the property and she decided to give the apartment to them because “they seemed like they would be such good tenants.”  She also said our current landlord didnt answer the phone when she called to verify and was worried the other couple would find somewhere else to rent.  I thought the deposit held the unit for you while they checked your references, is this not correct? Also, my girlfriend feels the reason we were refused is that we work in the film industry and do not have “normal jobs” however the landlord was provided pay stubs for the last 2 months.  Also, my girlfriend has blond hair with purple streaks and feels like that may have influenced the decision and she does have tourette’s syndrome.  would this be discrimination?
