A shocking new study has revealed white people are 36% more likely to get a positive response when searching for rental homes than black people.
Black people are 36% less likely to receive a positive reply from potential landlords With the help of artificial intelligence, Generation Rent set up two profiles on SpareRoom – the only difference between the two profiles were the name and skin colour of the applicant. Applicants ‘Zuri’, black, and ‘Lizzie’, white both put their ages as 26, said they worked as professionals and used the biographies: ‘I am looking for a flat or house share’.
Tilly Smith, Campaigns and Partnerships officer for Generation Rent, said: ‘It is extremely concerning to see racism and discrimination at play, preventing People of Colour from accessing safe and secure housing. ‘The lack of homes for minority ethnic renters to move into is not only extremely stressful and distressing when looking for somewhere to move or when facing eviction, but also forces many to have to endure poor conditions in the properties they can get access to.
