Abstract
The Equality (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2015 introduced ‘housing assistance‘ as a new ground of discrimination in the provision of accommodation under the Equal Status Acts. From the outset the Commission strongly welcomed this important new provision. We have actively promoted public awareness and understanding of the housing assistance ground, and specifically amongst landlords. We have, in certain instances, provided legal assistance to those who have reported discrimination under this ground and we’ve also challenged discriminatory advertising practices in the private rental sector.
