Due to missing data about discriminatory experiences at the access to housing in Germany, only international comparisons can provide orientation.
A survey by the European Union Agency for Fundamental Rights (FRA) showed that 2011 and 2019 a little more than one fifth of the trans* people in Germany felt discriminated against when looking for housing.
Trans* people who depend on economic providers in their housing situation, e.g., teenagers, are at risk of losing their housing due to transphobic discrimination in their home environment against them. Besides that, trans* people are disadvantaged in accessing housing. One possible connection can be made to the discrimination against trans* people in the area of employment, which makes trans* people more likely to work in precarious employment than cis people, who are then more likely to be accepted by a landlord, due to a regular and higher income.
