Can you be denied an apartment because your too old?

Posted at: 2015-03-04 
My dad applied for an apartment and was told that they don't rent to anyone over 70.

Ask why? There are laws against age discrimination but there could be specific reasons why they will not rent to him. I never understood why someone under the age of 60 can not move into a development because they are too young but anyone can move anywhere when reaching a certain age. I am referring to public communities within a city. The land is not privately owned.

In most countries, no. It's age discrimination

However... there could be legitimate reasons why they don't rent to people over seventy (health, needs, etc.)

If this occurred in the US, the landlord is a fat target for a juicy lawsuit. Your father needs a lawyer who specializes in civil-rights cases. He may wind up owning the building.

No if u can pay its illegal

Get a lawyer @ Sue let them learn

In the US, that is illegal.
