Many studies assessing the housing situation of migrants and discrimination in the area of housing focus on people of Turkish origin, as they constitute the main migrant group in Germany. The research institute Centre for Studies on Turkey (Zentrum für Türkeistudien, ZfT) published its 11th annual report on the situation of people of Turkish origin in North Rhine-Westphalia in January 2011. The level of perceived discrimination increased in most spheres of life, including the search for a flat. 39.1 per cent of the respondents experienced discrimination in the area of housing, especially when looking for a flat [1]. Another survey conducted by Planerladen showed that 42 per cent of 150 tested landlords give German interested parties the preference compared to Turkish interested parties [2].
