I came across a property listed on Rightmove and promptly enquired about it. I received an email from Arjan, who asked me a few questions, which I quickly responded to. However, after mentioning that I am currently not working due to a disability and receive housing benefits, my emails were completely ignored. I later noticed the flat in question had been reduced in price, so I emailed Arjan again, expressing my strong interest in viewing the property. I also asked if I was being rejected due to receiving housing benefits, which would be discriminatory and unlawful. Unfortunately, I was ignored yet again. What’s frustrating is that I was fully able to afford the higher rent, but they would rather reduce the rent and leave the property empty than consider me as a tenant simply because I am not currently working. This experience has left me feeling disheartened and unfairly treated, especially as discriminating against someone for being on housing benefits is illegal. I would not recommend this estate agency, as they seem to lack professionalism, responsiveness, and an understanding of equal opportunity practices. Edited to answer owners response. My name isn’t Scarlett and I don’t have any pets which I clearly stated in my ignored emails

Hello Scarlett, I am sorry that Arjan did not respond. Unfortunately the lease on the building does not allow pets, and you stated you have a small dog. Arjan should have clarified this. He kept your details in case another property came available in your budget. He will now remove you from our list of available applicants.
