UK: Hair stylist, 28, says her letting agency told her she could not rent a property because she is female and the landlord wanted a man to move in. OP: This happens to men literally all the time! Regularly I see adverts that state females only!

You've deliberately left out some very important details and are editorialising this to the point of being misleading.

She said: '[The agent] said ‘the problem is the landlord requested a male and female couple to move in’.

Renting is a business.
Somebody owns a place.
Why that somebody couldn't refuse you for any reason?

I work in real estate and have for decades .

When it comes to tenants bitching about their landlords it's usually the tenants fault.

You don't see rental agencies advertising for females only.

An individual looking for a female roommate is different than an apartment complex only renting to females.
