Vancouver Landlords Discriminate Against Gay Couples?
From the “It’s Not Easy Being a Renter” file comes a report that, in Vancouver, researchers have found that landlords tend to reject same-sex male couples 25% more often than average, and that single parents also face unusual discrimination. Researchers seem to call the rental being taken as the basis for rejection as a negative. If the reason is simply true (in that the applicant was just plain too late), then how can it be negative? If instead the landlords were looking for some other type of renter to fill the unit, then we can call it negative discrimination. If we get a hold of the study, we’ll report more in depth.
