More details to this question:
I paid for an application and criminal background and credit check for a lease on an Aventura, Fl condo lease. My realtor was informed that I was denied. I called the management office today to ask why I was denied. I was told, and I quote, “by law, we do not have to disclose why you were denied. The letter of denial goes to the condo owner only.” I have no issues whatsoever with applications of any kind. I have no criminal record and my credit is in the excellent category. The two issues they screen for. Could the above information be correct and do I have a case for discrimination? I’m outraged and do not want to just let this go. Thank you.

Condominium associations are cannot simply deny purchase and lease applications for any purpose that they want. In Florida, condominiums are governed by Florida Statute Chapter 718. This statute provides applicants certain protections, as does the Federal Fair Housing Act. If you believe the processing of an application was handled improperly, contact an attorney for guidance. The law office of Omid John P.A. assists applicants who have been denied by condominium associations.
