PHOTO: SUPPLIED Rashmi Raorane says she was shocked to be told a property owner didn’t want Indian tenants.
A prospective tenant has complained to the Human Rights Commission after allegedly being told she couldn’t rent a house because the owner thinks “all Indians are dirty”.
Rashmi Raorane, a 25-year-old Auckland school teacher, said on Tuesday that she and two other Indian people viewed the Pakuranga property earlier this month.
She said they met the property manager, Jane Zhang, at the house and she was a “really warm, nice lady”.
“She talked to us for more than 30 minutes; it was just us who had gone for the viewing. She said the owner was looking for a professional working couple. She assured us there won’t be any problem.”
