Preferences

From my experience in Melbourne and in the major EU cities, the primary reasons for this I learned from landlords are:

- They prefer tenants willing to lease for longer time-frames, single young males are very likely to relocate rather quick.

- Single young males are less likely to take good care of the apartment.

- A working couple has a better financial stability.


Hmm, that makes sense. Unfortunate though.

In the US there are supposed to be equal opportunity housing and landlords aren't supposed to discriminate like that, but of course it's hard to prove or enforce and many do anyway...
