请求有经验的地主们帮忙。如何拒绝一个想租房子的家庭？

事情是从我委托熟人中介帮忙招租。招租要求里说只允许小狗。然后来了一个申请人

中介告诉我说这个申请人

有两只狗Lab and Chihuahua 100lb and 6lb. 而且有history of filing Bankruptcy 13 because of enormous medical bills from his wife's surgery. He's a general manager of a chain restaurants. His wife works as loan manager. Total annual income can reach to $90k. They have 2 daughters at high school and 1 son in the college. Wants to sign at least 24 months rent. 

我很担心大狗。认为大狗破坏性很大。 建议用这个来说不符合招租的要求。当初不知道是service dog. 但是我还以后很多其他的条件。即使狗没有问题以后不等于我们就没有其他条件来同意租给不符合我们条件的客户。但是问题来了。回了一个这样的邮件。现在应该如何对应？

谢谢各高手的建议

 

Attached are the Indiana/HUD Fair Housing Regulations as they apply to Service Animals.  PLEASE NOTE THE YELLOW HIGHLIGHTED AREAS AND SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH YOUR CLIENT.

 

Since there is currently nobody with a signed lease in place and set move-in date, the House is LISTED as available, and we have the Financial Means to pay the rent and deposit as required, the mere fact that you said the owner DID NOT want a dog of such a "large size" in the house violates the Fair Housing Statute as is applies to Service Animals.  We are only required to provide a doctor's certification of the medical need for the "Service Animal" PRIOR TO MOVING IN.  The house won't be available until January 1st at least, and we can move in immediately upon availability.  Therefore, please relay this information to your landlord/client.

 

With annual income over $100,000, a good reference from our current landlord, and no LEGAL reason to deny our application, we see no reason why we can't rent this property under the terms advertised.  If we filed a complaint with the HUD/Indiana Fair Housing Department regarding the Rental Refusal due to the size of our dog, which is protected under the ADA, your client could not rent the property to ANYONE until the case was investigated, mediated, and a decision made in favor of one party or another.  That could take 3-6 months, during which he could not rent the house.  He also would have to void ANY lease he entered into, the current tenants would have to move out, and he would have no rental income for MONTHS.

 

I was open and honest about or situation and my wife, daughter, and my medical need for Service Animals.  I have proof of adequate income, Service Animal certification, and a LEGITIMATE reason for the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy, which has NO IMPACT on this rental or lease, as it is already in repayment and we CANNOT add any additional creditors.  Your landlord has NO liability and no action that can be taken against him under our Chapter 13 plan.  So once again, your mere MENTION of the Dog implies a clear violation of the Fair Housing Act.

 

Please read the attached law, send this to your landlord/client, and if necessary have him meet with me or call me and I will explain EVERYTHING to him in detail.  This is the second time someone has tried to prevent us from renting a home due to our Service Animals.  The Bankruptcy has NEVER BEEN AN ISSUE with ANY landlord...just our service animals.

 

I don't want to file any kind of formal complaint, but we need and want to rent this house.  It is perfect for our family, and our disabilities and need for service animals should not affect our ability to rent from your client, especially since we have MORE than enough monthly income to pay the rent.

 

Please respond or have your client contact me as soon as possible.  We were already planning our move-in, packing and other issues that needed to be addressed and planned for because you said your client was a very "fair and reasonable man when it came to the lease terms, rent, etc.".  I hope that's true.
