General Perception
- The LGBT community have a reason to worry because their sexual orientation has an impact on their housing experiences.
- Rejection by friends and family.
- Unfavourable treatment by housing services
- They are expected to be treated less favourably than other people when applying for social housing.
- Hate crime and harassment.
- Landlords see them as a low priority.
-
It may true or not that LGBT tenants are more vulnerable than others, but something is sure, landlords are learning to accept the fact that a tenant is a tenant regardless of their gender, ethnic background, skin
colour, religion or academic status.
-
As a tenant no matter how you define yourself or your status, you need to follow the rules and recommendations laid down by your tenancy agreement. Defining yourself as a part of the LGBT community does not diminish
your responsibility as a tenant.
