The applicant, a Black woman, alleged that the respondent discriminated against her based on race, colour, ethnic origin, and sex when she sought to lease commercial property.
The respondent required that rent arrears from the applicant's former employer be paid before entering into a lease with her.
The applicant claimed this condition was discriminatory because it was not imposed on her former employer's White male owner when he subsequently leased property.
The Tribunal dismissed the application, finding that the condition was imposed because the respondent reasonably viewed the applicant as a principal of the former employer, and the former owner was not subjected to the condition because he had already paid the arrears before signing his new lease.
