Human rights application dismissed; rental application denial and eviction were based on non-discriminatory reasons.
The applicant alleged discrimination in accommodation on the basis of ethnic origin, citizenship, and marital status after her rental application was denied and she was removed from her ex-spouse's rental unit by police.
The Tribunal found that the respondent denied the rental application for legitimate, non-discriminatory reasons, including unstable employment, poor credit, and lack of rental history.
The Tribunal also found that the respondent's actions in changing the locks and having the applicant removed were driven by the need to secure vacant possession for new tenants, not by discriminatory factors.
The application was dismissed.
Human rights application dismissed as abandoned after applicant failed to attend scheduled hearing.

Request to reactivate deferred human rights application denied pending appeal of related LTB decision.
The applicant requested to reactivate her human rights application, which had been deferred pending the completion of a related Landlord and Tenant Board (LTB) proceeding.
Although the LTB had issued a final order, the respondent appealed that order to the Divisional Court.
The Tribunal denied the request to reactivate, finding that the LTB issues had not been completely resolved due to the pending appeal, and extended the deferral until the conclusion of the appeal process.
