Human rights commission welcomes new MyHome.ie procedures

After engaging with IHREC, MyHome.ie has developed “practical methods to identify, monitor and block discriminatory advertising”.

MyHome.ie has also committed to reviewing and, where necessary, improving the system in light of experience following the roll-out.

In a statement, IHREC said it “hopes that this initiative by a major player in the property advertising market will not only help ensure compliance on the MyHome.ie website but will also create an impetus for other advertisers/publishers/property agents – big and small – to put in place practical measures and systems to ensure that people seeking rental properties are not unlawfully discriminated against”.
