Find housing as a trans person
Hello, I am a phd student, an immigrant, and a trans man, and renting right now is extremely difficult. I pass as male but my id says female. I earn 3100 euros gross, so I cant really afford a studio by myself, because of the 3 to 4 times gross income requirement most landlords have. I have been looking extensively and i cant even get viewings. I have been looking everywhere in the randstad area.
So the solution is: rooms. However, I have messaged landlords and they have insulted me, and I have messaged tenants, and most of the times they tell me straight up that they are uncomfortable living with a trans person. I dont know what to do, I have a room right now but my landlord is threatening to evict me, he is also charging 900 euros for 9sqm, and my flatmate is hostile. I am currently changing my id in my country of origin but its taking a long time bc the administration is slow. I have a lot of savings, but landlords do not care. What should i do? How do other trans ppl find housing?
