London Landlords Illegally Advertise ‘Muslim Only’ Flat Rentals
22nd April 2026
Landlords are illegally advertising for “Muslim only” tenants across London and the south-east, an investigation by The Telegraph has found.
The listings, posted on Facebook, Gumtree and Telegram, a social media and messaging channel, feature phrases such as “only for Muslims”, “for 2 Muslim boys or 2 Muslim girls” and “Muslims preferred”.
Others include direct appeals to Punjabi and Gujarati speakers or Kerala and Haryana people, while there are also job vacancies on the platforms that are advertised for men only.
