Rental guarantor and cosign service Insurent.com announced they are partnering with apartment rental listings and ratings site Rentenna.com to help renters better find apartments. “I have been a huge advocate of the Insurent Lease Guaranty since they launched a few years back. When I was a broker I wish this service existed for all of my clients who had no U.S. credit, were self-employed or retired, were students, or simply didn’t make the astronomical “45 x the rent” landlord requirement,” said Alicia Schwartz, co-founder of Rentenna.com.

The Fair Housing Justice Center (FHJC) and a woman living with AIDS who applied to rent an apartment at the 5000-unit LeFrak City complex in Queens filed a lawsuit in federal district court alleging that the landlord discriminates on the basis of disability and source of income. After receiving a complaint from a client, Housing Works, Inc. reported to the FHJC that its client had been denied an apartment at LeFrak City, which houses around 15,000 people, because she intended to pay her rent with a subsidy from the HIV/AIDS Services Administration (HASA).
