I toured the site for a 2 bedroom apartment. I was transparent that there would be 3 occupants and one of the occupants would have a emotional support animal that would have the proper documentation to allow the emotional support animal in the building. After disclosing all of this, I was quoted for an apartment and told to reach back out for applications.

One of the other occupants wanted to take a tour on their own as well. After they toured, my other occupant mentioned the emotional support animal again as well as that we had 3 occupants. At this point the site manager Marie stated we had too many occupants and that we were unable to apply. The reasoning was that non-familial households would take up too much space for the limited parking, though we were guaranteed two spots with the lease and we only have two cars. Marie stated no exceptions to this policy can be made. The zoning laws of the area allow up to 4 people(two per bedroom). Below is a picture of the policy that the property has instituted. Under the Fair Housing Act they are discriminating based on age and that it is not a familial home.

I do not recommend visiting this location at all and will be interested to see how long they can uphold an illegal policy without receiving fines or backlash.
