Dispute Summary
Tenant alleges discrimination by landlord based on place of origin (Venezuelan) regarding access to the building's social room and lack of adequate security for their vehicle.
Determinations
- Tenant's allegations of discrimination based on place of origin have no reasonable prospect of success
- Tenant's complaints about building policies and maintenance are not within the Tribunal's jurisdiction under the Human Rights Code
Case Study
The Tribunal found that the tenant's allegations did not demonstrate a reasonable prospect of success in proving discrimination based on place of origin under the Human Rights Code. The issues raised were more general grievances about the landlord's policies and building maintenance, which are outside the Tribunal's jurisdiction.
Arguments and Actions
Landlord
Actions
Landlord denies discriminating against the tenant and states the issues raised were due to general building policies and maintenance concerns.
Tenant
Actions
Tenant alleges they were unable to rent the building's social room and faced issues with building maintenance and security, which they believe is due to their Venezuelan origin.
Decision Summary
The application is dismissed as it has no reasonable prospect of success in proving discrimination based on place of origin under the Human Rights Code.
