K ate was right; they did receive several more applications at the open house, but each one was less attractive as apotential tenant than the Wilsons. Some had credit problems, others couldn't provide references because they had been "living with afamily member," and others had short work histories or were brand new to the area.
This left Megan with atough choice. The Wilsons were the best applicants, but Kate had made her feelings about them very clear, so M egan's options were fairly obvious-she could follow Kate's instructions and bury the Wilsons' application in favor of another couple, or she could give the apartment to the best tenants and run the risk of making an enemy of her new boss.
The more Megan thought about the situation, the angrier she became. Not giving the apartment to the Wilsons was discriminatory and would expose all of them to legal action if the Wilsons ever found out-plus it was just plain wrong. There was nothing in their application that suggested that they would be anything other than model tenants, and just because Kate had experienced bad tenants like "those people" in the past, there was no reason to group the Wilsons with that group.
Megan picked up the phone and started dialing. "Mrs. Wilson Hi, this is Megan with Oxford Lake Apartments. I have some wonderful news."
Did Megan make the right choice here

Case summary:
Person M works as a rental agent for the company that construct apartments and gave them on lease to the tenants. M's employer has recruited a new regional director Person KJ to renovate the marketing campaigns undertaken by the firm. KJ organizes open house to meet with prospective tenants wherein M interacts with the first applicant WL family that were a couple with their young son of AF AM origin. As per the lease apartment's policy, M informed the couple that after completing the background check, they will be offered with the apartment on lease. The couple seemed to be really warm and capable of paying rent. However, after the couple's exit, KJ came to inquire and asked M to not to rush approving this couple because these people usually break lease agreements and leave the town. It made M quite angry because although WL family was the best choice to lease the apartment among all the applicants, still she cannot make her boss angry by giving WL the apartment on lease. With all the temptations, M called WL family and gave them the good news about getting selected for the leasing of the apartment.
In this case, by selecting WL family to get the apartment on lease, Person M did the right thing because as per the policy of Person M's employer, before tenants are provided with the lease of the apartment, a thorough background check of the applicants take place. WL family came out completely clean in the background check conducted over them which shows them as the appropriate choice for leasing the apartment.
However, when it comes to the statement made by M's boss, Person KJ, M did the right thing by not generalizing her comments. M took the correct decision by not evaluating and discriminating WL family over the comments made by her boss. The reason why M did not discriminate against the WL family was that at the first place they cannot be discriminated on the basis of their AF AM origin, and secondly, they were the best choice among all the applicants to lease the apartment. ON the basis of these points, it can be said that Person M did the right thing by selecting WL family to get the apartment on lease.
