House hunting...

[mamid]

I emailed a two bedroom place on a whim. Maybe, just maybe, they would rent to us.

Nope. "5 people in a two bedroom is too much."

Uh. yah, if that was 5 adults. But this is a family looking for anything.

Ah well. I hope they find the renters they want. Me, I'm off house hunting.

did you tell them you were a couple with 3 small children?

Is this rented yet? If not, can you give me more details?
My husband just got offered a job at a tech support company near (college) and wants to move the family from (here) to closer to where he works. He has been in tech support for over two and a half years. We have three kids, we are non-smokers, we rarely drink if ever, we don't party, we don't use illegal substances, and the only pets we have are the fish in our two fish tanks. Our eldest is 5 years old and is in kindergarten. Our middle child is 3 and our youngest is 16 months old.
If your suite is still unrented, please let me know as soon as possible. Thank you,
(name and number)
So I wrote back..
I'm sorry you feel that way. The kids cosleep with us most of the time, so really, we only need a one bedroom. I hope you find renters you prefer soon.

isn't there something illegal when you discriminate against family size? I'm not that well versed in residential tenancy ever since they changed the rules again.
