The complainant alleged that the respondent landlords discriminated against her on the basis of race by refusing to allow her to sublet her rented trailer to a couple because of the prospective sub-tenant's native ancestry.
The Board of Inquiry found that the landlords had valid, non-discriminatory reasons for refusing the sublet, including the prospective sub-tenants being unmarried, having a child (which violated the landlords' rules due to lack of laundry facilities), and the abusive behaviour of one of the prospective sub-tenants.
The Board concluded that the Ontario Human Rights Commission failed to prove on a balance of probabilities that discrimination occurred, and the complaint was dismissed.
