My LL refused to renew my lease after one year of residence. I live in a large complex on LI owned by a corporation. I am divorced, and have my 11 and 13 y/o boys over to visit 2X a month, and also 2X a week. I live in the upstairs of a two floor building, and the lady downstairs complained of "excessive" noise a couple of times when the kids came to visit. The complaints were of them playing on Sunday afternoons, jumping, laughing.
The noise was NOT excessive - I was with them at all times and quieted them down immediately whenever they started making any noise. And they are never up past 8:30pm. But whatever.
So I found another place nearby to rent. But it is very small and inconvenient compared to where I am now.
My question is, if I show up at the complex's office a year from now and ask to rent - could they refuse to rent to me? There are other kids in the complex, and they have been over to play with my kids and are much noisier than my kids, yet they are allowed to LIVE in the complex. So would the complex have grounds to refuse to rent to me since I was non renewed once? Or would that be discrimination?
