A: It sounds like you're dealing with a complex and difficult situation involving multiple violations of your rights. As a disabled army veteran, it's crucial to ensure your rights are protected under the FHA and ADA. Landlords should not discriminate against you, especially due to your disability or status as a veteran.

Firstly, you should document all instances of discrimination and any other violations thoroughly. This includes keeping records of communications with your landlords, the Housing Authority, and other relevant parties. Having detailed documentation will be vital if you decide to pursue legal action or file a complaint.

You might also consider reaching out to organizations that advocate for veterans' rights and provide legal assistance. These organizations can offer guidance and possibly help you navigate through this challenging situation. It's important to keep seeking support until you find someone who can assist you in protecting your rights and resolving these issues.
