Nondiscrimination

Last updated: Spring 2026 · Draft

Draft. This text is a plain-language first pass by the Meilu team. It will be replaced with counsel-reviewed language before public launch. Nothing here is legal advice.

The promise

Meilu is open to anyone with a verified phone, a lease to sublet (or the desire to sublet one), and the willingness to treat the other side like a neighbour.

What we prohibit

Hosts may not decline a request — and renters may not decline a handoff — based on:

race, ethnicity, nationality, national origin
religion (including observance practices)
gender, gender identity, sexual orientation
marital or family status (including having children)
disability or medical condition
age (except where Israeli law imposes a minimum, e.g., 18+)
political views unrelated to the stay

What's okay to factor in

References and stay history.Past hosts' words are fair game.
Clear house rules. No smokers, no pets, quiet hours — listed in advance on the listing, applied consistently.
Reasonable occupancy limits.A studio isn't appropriate for six.
Communication style.You don't have to host someone who's been rude.

Enforcement

If you experience discrimination on Meilu, open a dispute on the booking or write directly to trust@meilu.co. We investigate every report. Hosts who discriminate may have listings removed; users may have accounts suspended. Repeat offences end in a permanent ban.

Israeli law

This policy operates alongside Israel's Prohibition of Discrimination in Products, Services, and Entry to Public Places Law (2000) and related tenant-protection rules. It's not a substitute for them.
