London: letting agents turn away black tenants on Independent Catholic News

London: letting agents turn away black tenants on Independent Catholic News: Campaigners have expressed shock at the news this morning that some letting agencies in London, are discriminating against prospective tenants on the grounds of race. Under the Equality Act 2010, it is illegal for businesses to refuse to provide a service based on ethnicity. But a BBC undercover investigation by Guy Lynn and Ed Davey has found that a number of firms are prepared to bend the rules. Ten companies told a reporter posing as a landlord they would not let to African-Caribbean people at his request. A black researcher was simply denied viewings, yet his white counterpart was welcomed. All the conversations were recorded on a secret camera.
