Is this legal? surely that's discrimination.. I don't see the difference between disabled and retired people.. disabled people it is not a life choice..
I feel I'm punished for been disabled.. it makes me really depressed as I was born this way and getting punished for it..
The landlord said his mortgage provider won't accept people on benefits but the previous tenants was retired elderly couple.. what's the difference and is there anything I can if this isn't legal!?
I'm trying to figure out of this is an excuse by the landlord not to rent to me or if the mortgage provider actually is so anti-disabled..
I can understand not accepting people on benefits (drinkers/drug users etc who might wreck the property) but I have a diagnosed disability.. surely that changes the rules otherwise most disabled people would be homeless!?
