What you should know when you see vegetarian-only rental ads on Facebook marketplace, Kijiji or Craigslist.

Looking for a place to live in the Lower Mainland can be a strange ordeal, with would-be renters forced to navigate things like small space “luxury rentals,” rentals with bizarre requirements, or a "closet-turned-room" for hefty prices.

According to the latest census data, 9,140 Burnaby residents self-identify as Buddhists and 7,505 as Hindus. Across B.C., 83,860 identify as Buddhists and 81,320 as Hindus. While not all adherents are practising vegetarians, Buddhism and Hinduism are the major religions most closely associated with vegetarianism.

That is why when you travel to India, you can find separate vegetarian and non-vegetarian restaurants, kitchens and dedicated utensils. And landlords, especially of Indian descent around the world, look for vegetarian tenants to keep their environment meat-free while they rent their homes. “Vegetarianism is not protected in the Human Rights Code," she explained. "A landlord can’t discriminate on the basis of religion, but I’d be hard pressed to think of any religion that contains a requirement to eat meat. And if the landlord will be sharing a kitchen, bathroom, or living space with a tenant — a situation where a 'vegetarians only' requirement might be most likely — then the Code doesn’t apply to the situation at all.
