my husband and I wanted a three bedroom apartment in a place called Fontana on Goldenrod Road in Orlando, Florida. A 3 bedroom was only $650 a month and it had everything we wanted. We wanted a 3 bedroom because we have 2 home based businesses and use the third bedroom as a home office/store room (I sell Avon and we sell wellness products). We often have company and we were tired of having guests climb over stuff to get to the bed in our (then current) second bedroom. We really liked the 3 bedroom, but the woman who showed it kept asking 'why do you all need 3 bedrooms'? Finally, I asked 'was there a problem'. She said no. We put down a $100.00 deposit. A few days later we got a call saying that we didn't get the apartment. When I asked why the reply was, 'we just find it strange you wanted a 3 bedroom and feel you were being evasive...like maybe you have children or another person going to live there.' I was very upset and told them that it was none of their business as long as we passed the credit check and could pay our monthly rent. The true story came out that the apartments were going to close down for six months while they were renovating the place and didn't want anyone to know.
