Hello, no one owes you an apartment. If the owner is actively looking for a tenant, they would have rented to you if you met their requirements. No, they don't have to explain anything to you. Chances are, they called your current or previous landlord and found out you aren't pleasant to have as a tenant. Have you paid your rent on time? Taken good care of the property? Behaved in a way that was pleasant to the neighbors? Are your friends and significant others problematic? You know what your credit and rental history are, take a good look at yourself through the eyes of someone who is working hard, has a huge investment to protect, and has every right to check you out and decide for themselves. Try being a good tenant, and be honest with people when you go apply for a place. No one likes getting surprises when they run your app and credit and call your landlord. Stop blaming everyone else. They don't have to rent to you if they don't want to.
Hello, no one owes you an apartment. They probably called your landlord and found out you have an attitude, which judging from your post I would tend to agree with. Have you paid your rent on time? Taken good care of the property? Behaved in a way that is pleasant to the neighbors? Are your friends/significant others problematic? Nobody owes you an explanation here. If they want to rent the place, and you are qualified and have a good rental history, they would have rented it to you. Take a good look at yourself through the eyes of someone who works hard, has a huge investment to protect, and doesn't want any trouble. Sounds to me like they made a great decision. Don't apply at my house, please.

Wow, kind of harsh for a newbie posting on a thread almost 3 years old.
OP should be well settled somewhere by now. For anyone else reading this thread, some landlords tell rejected applicants that they rented the unit to someone else because they think that is the best way to not hurt the applicant's feelings or to not get into a verbal argument. Many applicants get extremely unpleasant when told they won't be getting the unit.
It's a foolish way to handle it, because the applicant is going to see that the ad is still up.
There are many legitimate reasons that a landlord can use to reject an applicant. There is no legal case that the rejection was because of the child unless there is a long term history of no child ever living in that building. If other children have lived there, the landlord is not rejecting automatically for children.
My written criteria is 5 pages of small print. I can reject an applicant for any reason on that list. So income is far from being the only reason an applicant might have been rejected.
