Thad and Pierre made an appointment to view a condo for lease advertised in the newspaper. Thad phoned the landlord and set up a viewing for two hours later in the day. The couple thought the condo was perfect and informed the landlord they wanted to start the application process to lease the condo. The landlord then explained the condo had just been leased. The next Sunday in the classifieds, the condo was again advertised for lease. A friend of the couple phoned the landlord, pretending to be interested in the property. When asked if it had been leased, the landlord replied, "No". What is going on in this situation

It is likey the landlord does not really want to rent or lease the house out to a same see couple. The is a great offence I the United States.

Explanation: if the above reasons is the case(which it likely is), the This act of discrimination is not permissible in the United States. The federal and state fair housing laws is binding on every landlord which must be respected or obeyed.
