#OpenTheDoor

"It doesn't matter how long my hair is or what colour my skin is or whether I'm a woman or a man." - John Lennon

Millions of people, due to their religion, gender, sexuality, caste, ethnicity, or ability are denied rental housing each year. This leads to a violation of fundamental rights, ghettoized urban landscapes, and increasing intolerance. This is a shame because true diversity can be a source of incredible beauty and vitality and is necessary to healthy communities. 
While this prejudice is legally prohibited, the problem continues to persist.
This can only change at scale if individual homeowners (landlords) choose to embrace diversity and open their doors to potential tenants with identities that might be different from their own. Inclusion does begin at home! 

Belongg Housing Services & #OpenTheDoor Initiative

Belongg is creating a community of inclusive homeowners and landlords across India and we invite you to learn more and signup.

How It Works

IF you are a homeowner with a home(s) to rent out, please register your home with Belongg using the form below. Our team will get in touch to get more details of your house and would start identifying suitable rental housing seekers. We would coordinate the entire process of home visits and also help formalize the lease paperwork once a suitable match is found and a decision made. Please note that, before signing up, it is vital that you agree to not discriminate on any dimension of identity: sexual orientation, gender, religion, ethnicity, caste, race, living arrangements (such as unmarried couples) or ability.

IF you know someone who is a homeowner and a believer in inclusion and diversity, please put us in touch with them or else ask them to get in touch with Belongg either by filling the form below or by writing at contact@belongg.net.
