Renting and discrimination

AntiSocial

Available for over a year

An investigation by The Telegraph reveals hundreds of adverts advertising "Muslim-only" flat and room rentals. Some say the newspaper's reports, which also uncover other apparent equality breaches, are a worrying sign of unchecked discrimination. Others question the focus on Muslims and argue that some forms of discrimination in renting are understandable, even necessary. We find out what the law says, step back in time to understand the link between property and race in the UK, and look at some housing developments specifically designed for certain groups. Presenter: Adam Fleming Production team: Simon Tulett, Annabel Deas, Ellie House and Bob Howard Studio manager: Hal Haines Production coordinator: Gemma Ashman Editor: Penny Murphy
