If a property management company is told by the owner that tenants cannot move in because she thinks they are too young and don't make enough money (though they had enough to qualify,) and the property managers deny the tenants (who have no way of contacting the owner,) is that legal?
State/Country relating to Question: Oregon Already Tried: Talking to an attorney who said it was not legal, but didn't follow through with me in writing the letter he said he would write, contacting the property management company many times. My daughter had to break a lease that I co-signed on because because she lost her job. I advertised and got a commitment from some prospective tenants that wanted to rent the property. There were three girls, two of whom were sisters. Only two had applied, but without the third did not qualify so the third added on and they did. Apparently the owner did not want to rent to them, but the property managers only told me that they could not get in touch with the owners. They took an entire month and never told any of us that the owners said "no." I had advertised and paid an additional month to save the property for these tenants.
Hi there:were the finances of the tenants actually known by the management company? Also, how young were the tenants?
Yes. The finances were known and the tenants were told after the third party entered that they passed in every way according to references, finances, etc. The girls were 21-25.
Hi there:unless it is a retirement community, it is absolutely illegal to discriminate against prospective tenants on the basis of age; this includes having different income requirements for people based on their age.

Is the property management company responsible since they are the ones who represented the owners? Can you email me this communication?
