Fair Housing Act - Lease withdrawal

[Belinda R.]

I recently approved an applicant for an apartment. After the applicant viewed the apartment, they texted requesting a lease so I electronically sent them the lease sign. However, prior to signing the applicant came back with a list of requests such as maintenance using battery operated tools due to utility cost concerns, installing motion detectors, rental insurance not covering fires, tree falling ?!????, lease revision request etc. I canceled the lease signing and now drafting a letter stating we are unable to accommodate her request and willing to refund the application fee.

The requests seemed unreasonable to me, however I do not know if cancellation of the lease signing violates fair housing act in any way. I am considering having an attorney view my response letter just in case.

Thoughts?
