You have a right to fair housing:

Landlords may not discriminate on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, disability, or family status (children in the home). You should have equal opportunity to see the places listed here, have your applications screened on the same criteria as all others, and get equal treatment after you have rented. If you feel you have not been treated fairly, please call the City of Greensboro's Fair Housing officer at 336-373-2038.

You also have the right for your rental housing to be in safe condition:

You are responsible for keeping the place clean, avoiding damage, and reporting repair needs to your landlord (put these in writing!) If the landlord does not make safety repairs, call the City of Greensboro inspectors at 373-2111. If the inspectors find safety code violations, they will order repairs.
