A vegan New York City landlord has listed a spacious apartment with beautiful
views but will only rent to prospective tenants who agree not to cook any meat
or fish in the kitchen.

The unusual meat ban was laid bare in an online listing for the two pricey
one-bedroom apartments currently up for grabs in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene
neighborhood, the New York Times reported.

Landlord Michal Arieh Lerer was described in the listing as a “wonderful vegan
landlord.”

Lerer lives in the meatless walkup and simply doesn’t want the stench of
non-plant-based juices, according to the broker.

“It’s not vegetarian-only, but the owner lives in the building and doesn’t want
the smell of cooking meat drifting upstairs,” Andrea Kelly, the broker Douglas
Elliman, could be heard telling a prospective tenant at an open house showing on
Sunday.

Those looking to rent the 90 South Oxford Street apartments — currently listed
for $4,500 and $5,750 — can still order meat-and-fish-based dishes, the broker
insisted, but the meals can not be cooked on site.

The landlord and broker wouldn’t comment when contacted by The Post about the
meat ban.

Locals, however, were taken aback by the meat-free kitchen rule.

“You can’t tell people what to eat and what not to eat,” Corey, the
superintendent of a nearby building, told The Post on Monday.

“That ‘ain’t right. I wouldn’t be able to rent there.”

Two apartments in the building are currently up for rent, according to online
listings.elliman.com

Scott Fu, a 29-year-old bike mechanic who lives nearby, added: “That’s a new
one! Can you legally do that, outlaw smells?”

“If you can, I’d outlaw whatever the hell my neighbor’s cooking constantly
because it stinks,” he continued.

Under the Big Apple’s Human Rights Law, landlords aren’t allowed to consider 14
specific characteristics — including age, race, or sexual orientation — when
they decide to approve or deny a prospective tenant’s application.

A tenant’s dietary preference isn’t on the list.

The broker said the landlord is vegan and doesn’t want the smell of meat wafting
up from the kitchens, including the one pictured above.elliman.com

It wasn’t immediately clear how many prospective renters have viewed the two
apartments, or if the dwellings had been snapped up already.

What do you think? Post a comment.

The original listing that referenced the “no meat/fish in the building” rule has
since been removed from the nextdoor.com site.

The listings, sans the rule, are still viewable on the real estate agent’s
website.
