Subject: RE: BS: April is Autism awareness month
"I would think the apartment owners can be prosecuted for asking the question, let alone denying access to the rental property. Fair housing laws are there for a reason." Stilly
Trust me, child, I have NEVER asked, nor would I think of it. That's my whole point- are most people with autism typically that honest? Alcoholics generally are not so forthcoming nor are many people with alarming histories.
Right now, in Juneau, Alaska, it is a tight rental market and we have been full most of the time for months. I do accept applications from everyone. There are people depicted in those files that I would never rent to, whether because of knowledge acquired by word of mouth or because they came in drunk or for a host of other reasons. Autism hss not been one of those reasons.
