Racial harassment related to accommodation
49C Racial harassment related to accommodation
It is unlawful for a person who as principal or agent exercises control or purports to exercise control over accommodation or the letting or other allocation of accommodation to harass racially —
a person who occupies accommodation over which the first‑mentioned person exercises or purports to exercise control; or
a person who is an applicant for accommodation.
A person shall, for the purposes of this section, be taken to harass racially another person if the first‑mentioned person threatens, abuses, insults or taunts the other person on a ground referred to in section 49D, and —
the other person has reasonable grounds for believing that objecting to the relevant threats, abuse, insults or taunts by the other person would disadvantage the other person in any way in connection with the accommodation, or application for accommodation, of the other person; or
as a result of the objection by the other person to the relevant threats, abuse, insults or taunts, the other person is disadvantaged in any way in connection with the accommodation, or application for accommodation, of the other person.
