TAHNEE PLUMMER, 26, is originally from Pennsylvania and moved to Portland with her boyfriend several months ago. She works in construction and gets paid $15 an hour, and her boyfriend also works full time, she said. The couple has enough cash to pay first and last months rent for an apartment, she said, but they have not been able to get an apartment and, this summer, lived in a camper parked in the East Bayside neighborhood. “Our money spends just as well as anyone else’s, but we just need someone to give us a chance,” Plummer said. She also said she suspects landlords are wary of renting to the couple because her boyfriend has dreadlocks, so planned to start searching for housing alone so landlords would not make a premature judgment about their reliability in paying rent.
