They Also Erred--part 2
When I went to the Ontario Rental Housing Tribunal, I didn't know how to present my case for sexual harassment or discrimination properly. I didn't fill out the application forms correctly and I didn't know exactly how the law applied to my case. My instincts told me I was being harassed--one way or another--but I didn't know how to make the case legally. [And you have to have more than your instincts as evidence!] It was only later that I went to the Ontario Human Rights Commission and got some help from them and from a free lawyer. I would've gotten better help from the OHRC, which normally handled these kinds of cases, but I didn't know enough at the time. Also, the OHRC took such a long time investigating their cases that it would've been stressful for me in the meantime. [It's a long story about everything and I have a limited amount of time on the Internet.] But to be fair, I'll say that I could've done better in my presentation to the ORHT--if I'd known how.
