Their paranoid reason for refusal says more about them than about you.
When I was growing up in Boro Park, over a period of twenty years, my parents rented the basement to an assortment of odd characters including a divorced woman with a baby, a single Ger/Baal Teshuva (He wasn’t sure if he was born Jewish) and a 20 y/o OTD kid who smoked marijuana with his hippie friends. For the most part they paid their rent on time and we never had the slightest problem relating to them ‘preying’ on anyone.
Try Beth-El, Bnei Yehuda or similar as the average Chasidishe Shul will certainly sing.
As a single guy who went through a similar thing I can guess which town it was. Let’s just say that it’s a place where everyone is expected to be a certain type and older single or divorced guy just isn’t the norm.
I hope 100 is an exaggeration. I did find a few options there, none which I liked. And I didn’t call 100 people.
In retrospect I’m happy that I couldn’t find something there as I soon after relocated to a different city where I had no trouble renting as a single and was more matzliach in many ways.
Maybe consider a different place. Why live somewhere you aren’t wanted or respected?
