The ordinance prevents landlords from using old criminal or housing records to deny applicants. 

The texture hides/prevents the dog/furniture scratches and it's also super easy to clean.

The state is considering a bill that would prevent HOAs from regulating rentals in some way or another, my HOA was part of a group of HOAs that went to the capitol to fight against it (and ultimately won).

If the contract reads as you say, they may never have originally intended to pay you, and the window is just a cover excuse.One of the clues to me would be their being "furious" (possibly an act) over this.I've seen similar behavior before in other circumstances where they never intended to pay the money they promised.Finding some little fault (personally made up reasons) as an excuse to not pay the entire amount (not just a portion).Or you could just capitulate and put the window in, and then it might be, it's 2 inches too far to left, or the work was not done good enough, or the workmen made too much noise, or the workmen stepped on a petunia in the front yard.But if it is that, and you just put the window in, there may be more made up problems to prevent paying you.When dealing with some people it's best not to sign anything until ALL money crosses the palm.Good Luck!
