Legal
Nondiscrimination
Last updated: July 30, 2026
Draft. This is a first, plain-language pass written by the Home Sublet team. It will be replaced by a legally reviewed version before launch. Nothing here is legal advice. Translation, for convenience. The Hebrew version is the binding one. This translation is for understanding only, and where the two differ the Hebrew prevails.
The commitment
Home Sublet is open to anyone with a verified phone, a lease they can sublet (or the intention of finding one), and a willingness to treat the other side like a neighbour.
What's not allowed
Hosts may not turn down a request, and renters may not refuse a handover, on the basis of:
- Race, ethnicity, nationality or country of origin
- Religion (including religious observance and way of life)
- Gender, gender identity, sexual orientation
- Family status or parenthood (including children)
- Disability or medical condition
- Age (except where Israeli law sets a minimum, e.g. 18 and over)
- Political views unrelated to the stay
What you can weigh up
- References and stay history. What previous hosts wrote is a legitimate consideration.
- Clear house rules. No smoking, no pets, quiet hours: as long as they're spelled out in the listing up front and enforced consistently.
- A sensible occupancy limit. A studio doesn't suit six people.
- How someone communicates. You don't have to host someone who was rude to you.
Enforcement
If you've experienced discrimination on Home Sublet, open a dispute on the booking or write directly to [email protected]. We look into every report. Hosts who discriminate can find their listings removed, and users can find their account suspended. Repeat offences end in a permanent ban.
Israeli law
This policy sits alongside the Prohibition of Discrimination in Products, Services and Entry to Places of Entertainment and Public Places Law, 5761-2000, and the relevant tenant protection rules. It does not replace them.
