Real Estate Company Refuses To Rent To Stripper - Lawsuit Filed
<snip>

OMAHA, Neb. -- The Nebraska Equal Opportunity Commission is dedicated to eliminating discrimination involving the elderly, minorities, immigrants and even, it seems, for topless dancers.

The state attorney general's office has filed a lawsuit on behalf of the agency against an Omaha real estate company because it refused to rent an apartment in west Omaha to a stripper.

The Richdale Group had declined to lease an apartment to Charleigh Greenwood after she listed her occupation as a "dancer" at a Council Bluffs, Iowa, lounge.

The NEOC in its lawsuit said such a refusal discriminates against women because labor statistics show women make up 98 percent of dancers in the state and 96 percent of dancers nationwide.

The complaint said a Richdale representative called Greenwood on April 13 to reject the application she filed the day before.

1. Sounds about righ for these parts. They should look at it this way, at
least she's got a frigging job, which is more than I can say for myself as of last Friday. And I bet she makes more money than I do when I am working.

They better rent to her, fast. Because a lot of us don't have, or are losing our jobs. Four of us went last Friday.
