In such a survey conducted by the Republic of Korea in 2015, it was found that persons with disabilities were far more likely than others to have difficulty paying rent and other housing expenses, less likely to have “suitable” housing and more likely to have housing that did not meet the minimum standards of habitability.
Legal status

Body
Special Rapporteur on adequate housing as a component of the right to an adequate standard of living
