在新西兰
中国法盲房东真够惨的。咱有潜规则，但是也不要那么明显好不？再说了，你不租给申请的人，根本不用给理由，为啥那么笨？
房东也是，不租也可以不用给中介原因啊。
大家小心点，工党上台以后，可能会出台更多保护房客的政策。
Kiwi couple denied home based on race and marital status
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=11979688
A couple have lodged a complaint with the Human Rights Commission after being denied a rental property based on race and marital status.
An Auckland couple aged in their 30s, who wished not to be named, thought they'd hit the jackpot when they came across a two-bedroom house in the east Auckland suburb of Highland Park last week.
A property manager ran two viewings and took the couple's application, as the owners were based in China.
The female applicant said she thought they were in with a good shot of securing the home so she was shocked to receive a call from the agent on Friday saying their application had not been successful "because we weren't Asian or Chinese".
The applicants felt they had fallen victim to racial discrimination.
"I've made a complaint to the Human Rights Commission because I think we need to send a message that this is not on.
"I treat everybody fairly. It doesn't matter what race you are, I take people at face value."
The couple hadn't had any direct contact with the family who owned the property, but the letting agent had tried to help by recommending another property.
.............
Auckland Property Investors' Association vice president Peter Lewis said the case presented a "pretty open and shut case of illegal discrimination".
"In my view, the correct action for that agent to take would be to go back to the owners and point out that this is an illegal act in New Zealand.
"If they insisted on doing that, she should say she can't act for them on this property because they are asking her to commit an illegal act.
"It is like an employer asking you to go and burgle somebody's house. The fact that they have asked you to do it, does not make it legal."
Lewis, who has been a landlord for 26 years and has several rental properties in South Auckland, said he hadn't heard of many instances of discrimination quite as blatant as this example.
He said all landlords should base their decisions on factual information such as credit history and past landlord references.
He also recommended that landlords or property managers didn't give a reason when declining potential tenants.
"You are perfectly entitled not to give a reason, and we strongly advise you don't because if you give a reason then you are asking for an argument," he said.
"What I normally just say is that the application has been unsuccessful."
In this case, the property manager said her lack of inexperience in the role contributed to her divulging more information than necessary.
"[The landlords] had told me that in confidence and if anything is to blame, it is my inexperience, un-professionalism, and honesty," she said.
"I apologise my inexperience has led to this big misunderstanding

一对夫妇在被拒绝出租基于种族和婚姻状况的财产后，向人权委员会提出申诉。
一位30多岁的奥克兰夫妇上个星期在奥克兰东部郊区的高地公园遇到一个两居室的房子时，他们认为他们会中奖。
一名物业经理跑了两次，因为这两名业主都在中国。
这位女申请人表示，她认为自己有一个很好的保护住房的机会，因此周五接到经纪人的电话，说他们的申请并不成功，“因为我们不是亚洲人或中国人”。
申请人觉得他们已经成为种族歧视的受害者。
“我已经向人权委员会提出申诉，因为我认为我们需要发出一个消息，说这不是。
“我公平对待每个人，不管你是什么种族，我都以人为本。”
这对夫妇与拥有财产的家庭没有任何直接的联系，但是出租代理人曾试图通过推荐另一个财产来提供帮助。
.............
奥克兰房地产投资者协会副会长彼得·刘易斯（Peter Lewis）表示，这起案件提出了一个“非常公开的非法歧视案件”。
“我认为，这位代理人采取的正确行动是回到业主手中，并指出这在新西兰是非法的。
“如果他们坚持这样做的话，她应该说她不能为这个财产行事，因为他们要求她做违法行为。
“就好像一个雇主要求你去别人的房子一样，他们要求你这样做的事实并不合法。”
刘易斯在房地产业已有26年的历史，在南奥克兰有几个出租物业，他说没有听说过许多这样的歧视事件。
他说，所有的地主都应该根据信用记录和过去的房东引用等事实信息做出决定。
他还建议业主或物业经理在下降潜在租户时没有理由。
他说：“你完全有权不给出一个理由，我们强烈建议你不要这样做，因为如果你给出一个理由，那么你就是在争论。
“我通常只是说应用程序不成功。”
在这种情况下，物业经理表示，她缺乏经验的作用促使她泄露更多的信息，而不是必要的。
她说：“（地主）告诉我，如果有什么是自责的，那就是我的经验不足，不专业，诚实。”
“我对我的经验不足导致了这个很大的误解”

但愿大多数中介没这么sb

这篇文章就是标题党，博眼球的。 里面租房中介说的很多选择房客的理由应该大家都是可以理解接受的。但是直接说出来，就真是猪头了。之前就有文章标题是“皇后镇房东拒绝租房给我，因为我是印度人” 也是租房中介SB满嘴胡说的错。

这房东要付中介管理费给猪队友 交了钱还搞成这样 也是醉了。。。

所以租房不用去给中介啦，自己做的不会更差啦
评论
法律规定离境多少天就必须给亲戚朋友或者中介管理，文章里这样的房东在海外的，也不得不委托给中介管理
评论
這個房東和中介都是無腦的！

喜闻乐见

只能说这个中介是猪脑， 这个洋人就是赢了， 也是五百块。 这个中介给。 房东不用担心。
撕逼洋人， 跟他千万不能多说， 只说房东找到更好的就行了。
特别撕逼洋人经常爱去告。 事情特别多， 这对夫妇也别再想租房子了， 一看就是难缠主。 以后怕也没用中介敢租房给他们。 这种房客事情超级多， 尽量远离

老鼠，转帖的时候能不能翻译一下，照顾一下没文化的群众

难道房东不可以考虑房子的味道？ 就像我可以选择不租给抽大麻的人一样

大师，不要当法盲，去把法规好好看一下，有些东西是违法的
评论
我没说那些东西不违法
评论
不够灵活的中介。。。。。。。
评论
是的，我们坛子里也一直说了什么样的人不能租，但是这个不能正式的当成理由来拒绝，是违法的。拒绝租客的申请其实是不用给理由的，说多错多。。。哈哈
评论
这是中介的问题，太傻逼了，直接拒绝就好了不用给理由的
评论
在这越久越觉得洋人，尤其是白人虚伪。有的同胞素质不高，但也比白人可爱多了。咱们背井离乡在这里，哪个没被明里暗里的歧视过，这篇新闻下面Facebook下面那些评论都是赤裸裸的歧视。所以华人要团结啊，有好处先想着点同胞，别看着白人一来就巴结上去了。。。。
评论
更應該公報豬仲介的資料，讓大家提防提防。
不過話說回來，如果有聽英文電台的話，很多phone-in的白人大媽大叔比這新聞可惡千倍，不是歧視，是仇視。因此我認為，租給誰是房東的自由，不需要理由的。
评论
我也看了这新闻，我要是中介公司老板马上开除这个SB，蠢的跟猪一样
我要是房东一定要把这家中介公司公布出来，让所有房东知道他们
最好还要找律师告这个中介公司，肯定赢
评论
一共就六间房。。。哪个中介阿。。。
评论
楼上，假设那物业是这六家中的一家。
第一第二家21号或以后list, 投诉是22号或之前，所以应该不是。第5，6家比较像。
看了英文原版记者和中介的对话，典型的中式英语和中式思维。中介应该是华人。

她说 ( Agent)：“（地主）告诉我，如果有什么是自责的，那就是我的经验不足，不专业，诚实。
- she already acknowledge her own mistakes and now used by media ( potentially politician) to launch a campaign against chinese landlords.
- in 1970s, if you have a chinese surname, it is difficult to rent a place in london...... now is the reversal as more landlords are asian / chinese.
It is the world that is changing... haha.
It is like if you don't want to eat cheese, european food, you just said no, you don't have to give reason.
This renting thing is the same principle, just smile and text, "application is not successful, good luck next time";
- talking too much will invite more argument, and end up in the news.... haha..

她确实非常不专业，而且不负责任。
