Resources Northwest

If I could give a negative star rating, I would.
My friend and I were searching for a house, and had a time restraint on locating one before my friend would be forced to move back to his parents in another state. We both have fairly stable contract jobs, and have a history of expensive rentals, with no evictions.
We applied to rent one of their properties in southeast Portland, and after a day, were told that there wasn’t anything wrong with our applications, and we could get the keys the following day.
On the following day, we recieved no word, (they had said they would call «in the morning») so we called at around 1pm, only to be informed that because of our sources of income (protected category from discrimination in Oregon), they wanted not only one of our parents to cosign, but an additional $ 2000 deposit. (the original terms were for one month plus one $ 1200 deposit)
When I informed them that this was legally discrimination in the state of Oregon, they said «Oh, we meant an additional $ 800 deposit» Which we agreed to. They said they would contact us today, which they have not done.
Because they have misled us, and discriminated against us, we are now both locked in to move-​out dates, without a realistic expectation of having a new place. I will be filing a lawsuit against Resources Northwest next week, and have already reported them to the state for discrimination.
