Yes, but it's also about incorrect perceptions and dismissing people without really listening to them to see if they are suitable tenants.

The local perception of the whites is GENERALLY lack of a value system that is in line with Islamic principles. NB: I said "generally". The Western concept of fundamental liberties and freedoms are a little over the top for the locals. They won't tell it to your face as it's not the custom to.

But I only hear this problem about the singles - male or female (more difficult). Those with families are generally fine with accommodation - but they have other issues eg. expensive schooling etc.
