The applicant condominium corporation sought an order to remove the respondents' dog, which exceeded the 25-pound weight limit set out in the corporation's rules.
The respondents requested an accommodation under the Human Rights Code, arguing the dog was an emotional support animal required for a mental health disability.
The Tribunal found that the respondent provided sufficient medical evidence from a registered psychotherapist to establish a disability and the specific therapeutic need for this dog.
The Tribunal ordered that the dog be permitted to remain as an accommodation.
However, because the respondents failed to properly engage in the accommodation process prior to the litigation, they were ordered to pay the applicant's pre-litigation enforcement costs and Tribunal filing fees.
