The Apartment Was Not Rented Out because It Was Iraqi - This Case Was Shocking, Urgently Warns Everyone

Foreigners who come to Lithuania to study or work here do not always manage to rent housing quickly. For example, Ahmed, who is originally from Iraq and has been living in Lithuania for several years, says that landlords often refuse to rent housing due to the immigrants' origin. However, the Equal Opportunities Ombudsman (LGKT) emphasizes that such a practice is considered discrimination, for which the landlord can be punished.
