Nigerian Woman Calls Out Landlords for Discriminating Against Single Female Tenants

Nigerian Woman Calls Out Landlords for Discriminating Against Single Female Tenants

A Nigerian woman has criticised the way some landlords treat single female tenants. She said many landlords assume unmarried women will regularly host men, while similar scrutiny is rarely directed at single men. She shared that her male neighbour brings different women home most weekends. In contrast, she said no man has spent the night in her apartment since she moved in nearly three years ago, apart from an early-morning group stopover after a club outing. She argued that denying accommodation to single women based on assumptions about their private lives is unfair and discriminatory.

Exactly, housing decisions should focus on a tenant's reliability, not unfair assumptions about her relationship status.

Landlords can set reasonable house rules, but judging tenants by gender or marital status is a different matter.

Clear written tenancy rules for every tenant, regardless of gender, would reduce selective enforcement and unnecessary suspicion.
