Question: I met with a landlord of an RV Park yesterday have an RV park we looked at a spot for my RV I went and got a money order for the amount he told me would be the rent for a week that we agreed to bring my RV in this morning and get it hooked up when I went home he called me about 15 minutes later told me that someone from where I lived currently had called and said if you rented to me because of my son it would be bad so he cancelled told me he would could not rent to me anymore so now I have a money order made out to him that I can't even get my money back on is there any discrimination here

Answer: You should be able to get your money back if you bring your unused money order back to wherever you got it and explain the situation. If you have your receipt you should bring that as well. They will provide you with additional instructions. As for whether it was appropriate (and lawful) for the landlord of the new RV park to change his mind in response to the phone call he received from your current landlord, it is impossible to say without knowing all the details.
