HOUSING DISCRIMINATION?

Well, he didn't discriminate when he let you and your husband move in. So in that case at least we know that he is not prejudice. I really don't understand why he let them have a dog and not you. Did the tenant lie and tell the landlord that he needed it as a working dog. Does the dog perform tasks or ists with the tenants needs, is the other tenant disabled in any way. If is a working dog, the landlord has to let him have it, if it is needed. As far as the rent being paid in installments, it may have been set up that way in the lease when they moved in. The utility thing, I really don't understand. Are you sure that the other tenant isn't paying him extra for utilities included in his rent? It may be possible that the other tenant couldn't put the utilities in their name because they had bad credit, or owed the utility company money to put it back on. You would really have to know under what the cirstances are with the other tenants before you p judgment. It may be that he is discriminating against you, but you need to get the whole story before you judge. I am sorry you feel offended, and I hope you can get the straightened out. Have you confronted the landlord about all of these concerns?
