A notorious Toronto landlord gets a hefty fine

$10,000
—The fine levied on Carolyn Goodman and her company, Havcare Investments Inc., by the Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario. Goodman’s offence, according to the Star, was denying Thaila-Paige Dixon-Eeet a bachelor apartment at 500 Dawes Road, which has a reputation as one of the worst residential buildings in Toronto. The tribunal found that Havcare’s stated reason for turning Dixon-Eeet away (the fact that she was only 17 at the time) was a violation of the Ontario Human Rights Code and a source of “injury to her dignity, feelings and self-respect.”
