Indicator history

There is no systematic data about difficulties of migrants or minority groups in purchasing or renting property. However, in ZARA’s Racism Report 2010 in the section "Housing and goods" there are several incidents about discriminatory housing advertisements and persons with migration background or ethnic minorities having difficulties renting a flat. ZARA documented three incidents of discriminatory housing advertisments, one case where a man was denied an appointment for viewing a flat because of his colour of skin and one person who was refused to extend his lease because he wasn't an Austrian citizen.

ZARA's Racism Report 2011 again contains several incidents about discriminating housing advertisments and problems of individuals concerning finding a flat because of their ethnic or foreign origin.
