UK landlords advertising ‘Muslim only’ housing in potential violation of discrimination laws
British landlords are allegedly advertising “Muslim only” rentals to prospective tenants around London in a clear violation of the country’s housing discrimination laws, according to a report.
Dozens of listings shared across multiple social media sites featured the strict religious requirements for renters in London and southeast England, the Telegraph reported.
“Only for Muslims,” “for 2 Muslim boys or 2 Muslim girls,” and “Muslims preferred” were listed on the advertisements, according to the outlet.
One such post specified that a one-bedroom living space was available for “girls” and suitable for “Gujarati Muslim Student.”
