Meaning that a landlord who may have a no-pet policy cannot deny someone with an emotional support dog tenancy as the ESA is not considered a 'pet'. 

I am 1 week away from closing and I get a call saying that I am denied because I am 9 months away from getting out of the army.

However, this is a situation when they deny that their partner has moved in but it appears like they live in the apartment building.This may happen because of bad credit or because of criminal convictions that they do not want to disclose.

Might there be problems with denying both tenants use of the kitchen, bathroom, or other facilities as you rehab?

I haven't been denied yet but I'm just worried it won't go through.

FHA loans tend to air on the side of caution when it comes to down payments and they will investigate where the money came from, and the money cannot be tied up into a loan that you will have to pay back or you will be denied for the loan.

Unless you are going to file some kind of discrimination suit against the bank based on what you feel is arbitrary denial, banks do not have to grant everyone a loan just because they qualify - they just can't deny you a loan based on one of the protected classes (religion, race, etc).

I signed up online for water service, but was denied because apparently I need a master meter, which requires almost as much documentation as purchasing the property itself!

Many people like to deny it but I feel that unfortunately it is the truth.

Ideally, I'd like to be able to change the rules moving forward right now since we have a vacant unit that we are renovating, but I don't want to remove an otherwise good and paying tenant to do so before they are ready to leave.I had wondered about what @Johann Jells had mentioned, but I wasn't able to find anything in our Landlord/Tenant laws to either confirm or deny it.
