Sorry but people are not stupid, if there is more than enough evidence anecdotal or otherwise to suggest black people are more of a rent risk then landlords incl black landlords will prefer to let to non blacks... This is not racist simply good business !!!!

This type of racism is endemic across all racial types depending on the area in question.

Money is a stronger motivator than racial or political correctness ...!!!

I agree with this to a point....there was an article in our local paper last year about an Asian landlord who would only rent to Asian tenants. He defended his reasoning as wanting to help Asian tenants who faced racism and difficulties elsewhere. Swings and roundabouts I guess. Just to clarify I don't agree but it does happen across all ethnicities by the looks of it.

Supply and Demand

[Nedusa]

Some landlords will not rent to Asian people because the house or flat smells of curry for weeks or months after they have left.

I know that sounds very cliched but it's true for some landlords as prospective non Asian tenants would be instantly put off by such a lingering smell...!!!

Illegal or not, people think what they think... Kinda hard to legislate against people's thoughts....!!!!

It reminds me of taxi drivers in New York City not stopping to pick up black passengers, even black drivers are less likely to stop for black passengers. It's a hard thing to regulate.

If the landlord is racist, would you as a minority really want to live there anyway though? I was reading about a reception hall that is being sued for refusing to host a gay wedding reception, as a gay person i don't want to use a bigot's reception hall anyway. Why would i want to be giving my money to someone i know is a bigot?
