A vegan landlord required tenants not to cook meat in a Brooklyn apartment. Although an unusual ask, it's not illegal, an expert told The New York Times. One person familiar with the situation told Insider tenants had not been bothered by the rule in the past. However, the Times reported that the apartments, going for $4,500 and $5,750 monthly, could still accommodate meat eaters — they just can't cook meat there. If it doesn't, move on," the person told Insider.

Actually, the broker, Andrea Kelly, explained to one prospect, meat eaters were not banned; cooking meat and fish was. “It’s not vegetarian-only, but the owner lives in the building and doesn’t want the smell of cooking meat drifting upstairs,” she said. The owner, Michal Arieh Lerer, refused to speak to a reporter, and Ms. Kelly and her employers at Douglas Elliman declined to comment. But Ms. Lerer’s ex-husband, who co-owns the building and is also vegan, said that they both had refused to rent to carnivores who cook since buying the house in 2007. “It’s not about discrimination,” said the ex-husband, Motti Lerer.
