At PropertyGuru, we believe your property journey should not be limited by your race, gender, sexual orientation or religion. 

Yet for some renters in Singapore, the search for a home can still come with unnecessary challenges. A YouGov survey of 1,500 Singaporeans found that close to 1 in 4 have faced racial discrimination when trying to rent a property.

While we celebrate multiculturism in Singapore, unconscious biases still influence the rental experience, often putting renters, landlords and property agents alike in uncomfortable situations.  

That’s why we introduced the ‘Everyone Welcome’ filter.  
A simple feature for a strong impact: 

✅ To help renters search for homes with confidence 
✅ To help landlords attract more interest from renters looking for welcoming homes 
✅ To help agents more effectively match renters to landlords

❤️ Because everyone deserves to feel at home

Though we may look, sound, or live differently, we all long for the same thing: 
A place to feel safe. To rest. To be ourselves. 

Real voices. Honest stories. A call for more inclusion 

We know words alone can’t capture what it feels like to be turned away just for being who you are. That’s why we’ve teamed up with storytellers who bring these tough moments to light with empathy, honesty, and sometimes a little humour.

<Coming soon on 1 July>   

This documentary follows a minority renter navigating repeated rejections in her search for a home. Alongside her, a property agent witnesses the real-time challenges renters can face from overt discrimination to more subtle forms of biases. 

Rather than pointing fingers, this documentary takes an empathetic look at Singapore’s rental ecosystem. It explores the complex mix of personal experiences, cultural norms, and perceptions that shape rental decisions and shows how understanding, action, and allyship can move us toward a more inclusive market. 

💚 Together, let’s build a more inclusive rental market
