[Nfbc-info] ADA question

[Tim Elder]

Yes, if the termination of your lease is based on disability/handicap, you
could also file a complaint against your current landlord.  Be careful
though, there are a lot of legal reasons, even if unfair, for landlords to
terminate a lease.  It isn't illegal to be an equal opportunity jerk.

Regards,

Hi,
Thank you so very much!  Once I get moved and have rested some, I am going
to file complaints!

Can I do anything about my current apt complex refusing to tell me why they
are terminating my lease?  I smell a rat there, too.
Thanks
Lauren
