Specific Guidance for Listings

  • No advertisement shall contain any information or mention related to any preferences in favour of or against Residents regarding race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation and/or marital status or any other information of any kind that may have an influence on the booking request made by the Resident.
  • No booking request shall be rejected based on reasons like race, ethnicity, religion, gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation and/or marital status or any other information of any kind which constitute discrimination or preference.
  • Shared and/or co-living spaces might have rules to ensure the privacy of all its residents (some spaces shall be rented only for one gender) or to ensure the correct communal living as well as the allocation of expenses (some spaces shall admit the use of the space on an individual basis only and some space shall charge a higher amount if the space is used by a couple; said amount shall have to be proportional).
