Why cant an apartment agent tell me about the crime rate in this part of town?
She says it's the law which sounds like a load of bullshit to me

I think that changes in the law are sometimes ignored and sometimes not. When I was purchasing a foreclosure in Lansing, Michigan, in 2008, for example, I called to ask about the crime rate where the house I wanted to purchase was located. I had heard that it was a bad part of town.
The police officer told me that there was a bad crime area to the north and another to the south, and that the house and the street where I was considering buying were located in an island or pocket crime free area.
Of course, by the time I moved out, (2010), crime was beginning to happen. I got a phone call after I moved back east from the police, wanting to know if my cameras were hooked up in my security system, because the house next door had its car vandalized.
