I was convicted last year of theft in the second,forgery, and identity theft...but before you judge hear me out.First off I know what I did was wrong, I did my time, Im paying my fines.I cashed 2 checks,that someone else made , that they broke into the account of each for 471.00.This person made them in my name, I used my drivers license, I signed my own name...so i still dont get the forgery, or identity theft, but thats neither here nor there...this is the only thing on my record in 43 years, besides not paying my credit card bills, which i didnt so i could pay my rent, but now i cant get anyone to rent to me because they here the word felon, or felony.I have been at the same job for 2 years, have a 16 yr old daughter, 25 yr old son, 2 grandbabies...and have to live with my parents.i learned my lesson, i paid my dues, i messed up, i admit it. but it doesnt mean i dont need a place to live, or a job, or whatever...i pled guilty so as to not drag it out over years which is what they do with everyone in this hellhole called chelan and douglas county.I was guilty, i paid my dues...i just want a home for my daughter and me.So any advice? Also if someone denies your appl. for rentals, and you ask why, shouldnt they be obliged to tell you why when you ask them? Thanks
