A closed door isn’t a rejection, it’s God’s redirection to better things.
There are old misdeeds and straight racist. I’m really disappointed to hear about several of Yayoi’s racists stmts in her writings. Deleted from US pub but acceptable for print in Japanese 🤷🏽♀️. This just perpetuates the issue of the Black and Asian divide. news.artnet.com/art-world/ya…
These estate agents in the UK are leeches. This is one of the reasons why landlords are raising rents in astronomical amounts on current tenants with high expectations. This country is going to hell in a hand basket, FAST. @Shelter @crisis_uk @BirchillsHomes 👎🏽👎🏽
@Shelter @CitizensAdvice @crisis_uk @insidehousing This is what people seeking homes in the UK are going through particularly with pets. Someone needs to set better regulations because the lines of discrimination and lame excuses landlords are allowed to give is ridiculous.
And this was a landlord that not only claimed to accept pets, but clearly stated their last 2 tenants had dogs. All dogs bark at some point, right. 🤷🏽♀️

After you say “I am tired” or “I am broke” or “I am sick” or “I am overweight,” the Genie says, “Your wish is my command.”
Dear @AnthonyWebbN13 remember without tenants, landlords will not be able to pay their mortgages. Therefore customer service applies to tenants as well as landlords. Why do we have to follow up with you. What exactly is your job? By the way, discrimination of any kind is wrong.
How I feel London’s estate agents and landlords really feel and should put it on the apartment listing page to save both of us time. I mean the things these folks are getting away with in this country in selecting new tenants is deplorable and makes me feel like it is 1950. 🖕🏽🖕🏽
