Multiple London landlords have posted rental advertisements on Facebook and other platforms specifying that properties are available only to Muslim tenants, according to reports.

The advertisements included phrases such as "Only for Muslims," "for 2 Muslim boys or 2 Muslim girls," and "Muslims preferred," according to the listings identified by news outlets.

These rental practices potentially violate Britain's Equality Act, which prohibits discrimination in housing based on religion and other protected characteristics. The Act requires landlords to make rental decisions without regard to tenants' religious affiliation.

The advertisements were posted on various social media platforms, with Facebook being among the primary venues where the listings appeared. The extent of such postings and the number of landlords involved remains unclear.

Under UK equality legislation, landlords are generally prohibited from advertising rental properties in ways that exclude potential tenants based on protected characteristics including religion, race, gender, or sexual orientation. Violations of the Equality Act can result in legal action and financial penalties.
