Hi, all. We are in the process of moving to Barcelona (work related). We have been trying to rent a house locally. Even though we have plenty of money (what they refer to as a "good profile"...looking in the 4K to 5K Euro range) & stellar credit, we have been turned down not once, but twice (in Cabrils & Sant Cugat), because we have five children. And they blatantly say so, which is completely illegal in a place like the U.S., so I am still in shock. My husband's HR department says it's the renter's choice to do so. I am just concerned that if we somehow miraculously find a place to live that won't shun us because of the number of little sweethearts we have, that we will still somehow be looked down upon (and worse yet, my children treated poorly) and have a poor quality of life there. I am just stunned because I thought it was supposed to be a family oriented culture. I am weary to make another "house renting attempt" trip across the pond. I hate to even say this, but we are what would be considered "wealthy Americans" (cringe). Just to give enough info. incase someone were to respond that this is a common attitude toward poor, immigrating families from other countries (which is still wrong). Any feedback on big family discrimination? I am more nervous to move there due to these experiences. Any feedback or your past/current experiences would be appreciated. Thanks.
