I see you or the site listed this question to be one of discrimination, do you feel that any form of discrimination caused them to say these things...

What do I do about neighbors and an inept manager.

The site tagged your question as one of discrimination, but you may receive more answers if you post again directed at landlord tenant attorneys.

What are my options?

If you felt this arose to the level of a crime, you could speak with local police about it.

What should I do if my employer lost my application?

Is the lost application causing them to take some action against you?

They cannot force you to lie to the IRS, that's a major misstep on their part.
