Beirut Sunni Residents Face Housing Bias

The article addresses the phenomenon of sectarian and religious discrimination in the Beirut real estate market, where it has become common to ask tenants about their religious affiliation and the neighborhood they belong to before renting apartments. This reflects the ongoing divisions and mutual fears within Lebanese society. Such behavior leads to the reproduction of sectarian fault lines within residential neighborhoods, with some landlords and real estate agents justifying their actions by citing the desire to preserve the character of the neighborhood or the wishes of the property owner. This practice hampers the realization of the human right to housing in a fair and equitable manner.
