I need help really bad on Wednesday the 31st of March I
picked up a lease agreement from a trustee that represented
a masonic lodge. The agreement was to be signed on 4-01-04.
The gentleman told me to take it home and read it sign and
return with deposit and first months rent. That night I had
to go out of town and I called Another one of the members
that were listed as a contact to let him know I was going
out of town and that i could not get in touch with the man
whom had given me the lease. I needed to know if due to the
fact I couldnot move in on the 1st of April could I pay my
deposit and move in on May the first.He said he'd let the
other man know. Well on the 1st I returned that evening and
called the original man to get confirmation and that he
agreed. He said he got the message and that it would be
okay, so I offered to bring the money there with the lease
due to the fact it was the 1st.He said you can bring it
Saturday I said are you sure he said yes. Well Saturday
came I showed up with a showcase and my lease and
deposit,that's when he told me someone else was looking at
the building. I said to him well I have a lease here for
this location and he said he did not know what to do the
other trustees wanted a longer term and 50.00 more a month.
I reminded him of the lease and he offered to by my
showcase and let me keep it. I told him it was more than
about a showcase I had changed adress and sent invitations
out for grand opening. Then he told me well if your partner
will agree to pay 900.00 that's deposit and the month of
April call me back tonight let me know the decision and I
will tear up the check for 300.00 to replace your case and
let you have the building he said he felt bad. So I left
very heavy in heart I called him back in 2hrs tops told him
sir I have decided to take the building he said sorry i
told the other man he could have it I was floored and i
said thank you have a nice day we hung up. I called the
other contact to get the name of the master of the lodge i
got his number and called he called me back. I told him
everything I just stated above he said he did not know any
of this he was told last week a lady was going to get the
building i said that wiuld be me. Well I told him I had a
key for the po box had gotten the phones set up and i felt
put aside for this insurance company not to mention i am a
black woman which made me feel discriminated against
something i have never felt before. He said he'd call me
back and he'd go to bat for me after all I'd been through
given the run around he put it. I received a call back
stating that the original man had a signed lease on the
other man as of Friday!!! I had just received my lease that
Wednesday and told to bring it back that Saturday. I want
them to answer to the law for this it has to be something I
can do!

Please help!
