A: Good morning, is this the Renter’s Hotline?
B: Yes, what can I help you with?
A: I have a question about discrimination in housing.
B: What type of discrimination?
A: I think that he doesn’t want to rent to me because of my race.
B: What made you think that your race was a problem?
A: He seemed OK talking to me on the phone, but seemed to change his mind when he saw me in person.
B: What else made you feel he was discriminating against you?
A: Well, he had a 25 unit apartment building and everyone I saw there was his same race.
B: Racial discrimination is very hard to prove, but if you would like to come down, we can go over a checklist that can help you build a case.
