Hold what against you? Not having a birth certificate or being able to find the landlord? If you don't know who the landlord was, tell them so. I think that denying you based on your inability to know his/her current whereabouts is grounds for a legal challenge.

Well, if you don't fill out the application properly or completely, yes, they can turn you down for an apartment. Enter the landlord's last known address. Where did you send your rent payments? Look him up in the phone book. Low income housing often receives federal funding and thus must follow rules to the letter. If they fudge things a little for you, they might lose that funding!

I assume you have a birth certificate, I sure wouldn't want tax dollars to go to support illegals. Do you know where you lived. Give them that address. Do you know his name.
Its a govt bureaucracy, give them your old address and his name. They can search the address and find the owner
and address.

The Bush administration has made it as difficult as they can for people to qualify for the pitiful small amount of government help they have left available. Contact your legal aid society. But you will need to PURCHASE birth certificates, another little mechanism Bush has thrown into the pot to make qualifying difficult and next to impossible.
