Pal of mine rents out several properties and every time bar none that he has rented to a certain group he has lost 1000s in lost rent and huge repairs when they finally move out. He now only rents to white families. Care to elaborate?

Aurelius was an entertaining chap even if we are polar opposites. I mourn him. I told him he was boring people and he never posted again after that. Nobody has ever taken me that seriously.

The only race I would be willing to rent my spare room out to would be scandinavian, specifically NON male, aging between 18 and 22, with long blond hair. The rest can all fuck off and if they done like it, they can turn left at fuck off street, leading to fuck yourself avenue and then fuck off some more. I know what you posted was only in jest, or at least I hope it was, but it's actually a real problem Apologies for linking a Daily Fail Article but I expected many similar stories from Lefty MSM would be treated with derision www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-10406975/How-60-000-women-UK-targeted-vile-sex-rent-landlords-according-new-study.html

People gravitate towards, and have a preference for, people 'most like them'. That works all ways round, and you'll never change it.

Racism is rife in this country whether it be by actions or thoughts. Its always been there but in the last 10 years or so this government have ramped it up big style.

It was the same outcome from a different study when identically qualified and experienced candidates applied for jobs. Many employers have now gone to the position of removing names from prospective candidates' applications to avoid discrimination, whether it might be overt or inherent. In the US they do "audits", same CVs with "white" or "black" names. The black names get fewer callbacks, which makes it sound like anti-black (or pro-white) prejudice. But some groups said it was just because black names sound "poor" so the discrimination might have been against people from poor backgrounds instead of race. Then again, black people did worse in places where you'd expect racial prejudice, e.g. where there are more google searches for anti-black racist words etc. Still, I'd hope even the woke haters want to do something even if it only reduces prejudice against poor-sounding names.

The worst tennant I ever had was possibly the best dressed, best spoken etc. What a mess he left. I had a pool table in the place which he'd been using as a dining table, the baize was ruined as was the leather furniture etc covered in gravy, rips etc. Gave me some sob story that his daughter had just died which turned out to be nonsense and an excuse for late payment , she came to visit him and he then tried to make out was a different daughter.
Saw an old episode of Rising Damp where Peter Bowles played a posh con man who fooled Rigsby , reminded me of him.
You can't tell with people on first impressions I guess

Pal of mine rents out several properties and every time bar none that he has rented to a certain group he has lost 1000s in lost rent and huge repairs when they finally move out. He now only rents to white families. Care to elaborate? I will. Two friends of mine rented out their homes while they were abroad working. Both of the homes were in the SE.One in London the other in Kent (I think). In London the property was let to a Turkish bloke, in Kent to an Eastern European couple. In both cases the renters sublet the house to others. They did not sublet it on a like for like basis to small families. One was a 3 bed semi which housed 2 African families (about 8 people) and the other was a 4BR place that housed 10-12 eastern europeans. One of the guys was called by someone while in Taiwan (can't recall if it was neighbour or the police) and he had to go back to the UK to sort it out. It took him a couple of visits and lots of lawyers to get them out. He nearly lost his job as a result of the time off he was taking. The other one had an idea something was not right because his neighbour called him about the number of people coming and going. He found a trashed house when he got back, furniture missing, doors and windows damaged. He told me had to spend $20,000 to get it all sorted. I have had negative interactions with Turks and Romanians when interviewing to let my property. Both of them had a story to tell but when you probed deeper it didn't add up. I suspected they were also looking to use my property to sublet or maybe something more serious. Anyway, I didn't accept them. Given my experience and that of my friends I would be incredibly wary of any Turkish or Romanian that was interested in my property. Having said that, I have also had problems with an old couple on welfare. The problem with welfare renters is that some of them live dysfunctional lives so you need to be careful. Added to this the council will do as much as it possibly can to keep them in your property. Not because they think I am a greedy landlord trying to bully the weak and vulnerable but because it is a load of hassle to try and find them an alternative property. The old couple also went straight to the CAB who tried every legal manouvre to prevent me from evicting them. As a result, I had to lawyer up. It's difficult to defend yourself when you are 6,000km away. As with the Turk and Romanians I am now wary of people who are receiving welfare. The minority always mess it up for the majority. Don't get me started on letting agents either. 90% are good but the bad 10% leave a nasty smell that lingers over the good ones as well.

Why didn't they use Lizzie as the name for the black candidate also? That would have eliminated a number of other potential biases.
As a landlord if I have two candidates and all I have to go on is their name and nothing else, and if its between a typical British name like 'John' or a foreign name like Pedro, Akhmed, Gimli, Legolas or Gandalf, then I'd be inclined to call John back first. That's not being racist, that's taking a punt on the safer sounding option. Someone you'd directly consider as a UK national with lesser risk.
However, if I had the opportunity to meet all of them in person and knew that John was a bum, while the others had decent jobs and social standing then I'd clearly rent to one of them.

Spare Room has nothing to do with the landlords 90% of the time. It’s used by people who already rent the property, looking to fill a room.
I guess it’s suggesting the judgement goes between ordinary renters, not landlord discrimination.
Have used Spare Room loads of times. I’m sure some people are racist but culture clashes are genuine as well. If you are a young professional who likes partying and going out, then generally speaking you’re not going to invite a teetotal Muslim to come and live with you.
