The ruling found that from the time she applied for the apartment and throughout the tenancy, Richardson faced sexist, racist and classist conduct from Kirkwall Properties’ owner Wilma Galbraith.
The panel heard how the landlord repeatedly called Richardson a whore, used racist terms towards her boyfriend and used a racist word to describe her unborn child.
The decision says it was a poisoned tenancy that forced the vulnerable mother to move out within a year.
Kirkwall Properties and Wilma Galbraith did not attend the hearing but filed an unsworn, handwritten reply denying the allegations. Galbraith’s crude, humiliating, and demeaning insults together with name calling and taunting attempted to drive the complainant out of the apartment building, Tracey Epp, the adjudicator, said in her ruling.
