We don’t have to make that case. The case went before the tribunal and the landlord was fined for making disparaging statements to their tenant. It’s also worth noting that the tenant was evicted, and that’s why the complaint was filed. The tribunal did not find that the tenant was evicted because of bigotry, but did find that the text messages warranted a fine.

We don’t actually know what the “tepid criticisms” were, because the content of the texts wasn’t in the article.
