A Canadian landlord who was fined $12,000 for wearing shoes in a Muslim tenant's home said he felt "humiliated" by the harsh penalty levied by a national human rights tribunal.
In an interview with the Toronto Sun, John Alabi, 52, of Brampton, recounted how he went above and beyond trying to accommodate the Egyptian-born couple who lived in the apartment for two months – just to be slapped with a steep fine for the shoe incident.
"I go beyond all that. I just see everybody as human beings like me. That’s why I took them in," Alabi told the Toronto Sun in May. "We got along. And then all of a sudden I’m a racist?"
The Human Rights Tribunal of Ontario ordered Alabi in April to pay the tenants $6,000 each after he failed to take his shoes off in the bedroom were the couple prayed while he was showing the home to potential renters. The couple, who moved into first floor of the home in December 2014, terminated their lease on Feb. 28, 2015.
The tribunal also said Alabi "harassed" the couple and "created a poisoned housing environment." Though he would give them 24-hour notice of the showing, he would often fail to provide a 5-minute warning, according to the Toronto Sun.

“I go beyond all that. I just see everybody as human beings like me. That’s why I took them in,”
Let me just suggest the rent may go up to about $120,000 per day.....get the F*ch out of our country and go back where you came from.......
Fascism. Ain’t it grand?
No good deed
You cannot make nice with porcupines and rattlesnakes. Gratitude is not a universal virtue, and the natural inclinations invariably surface at some point or another.
They wipe their ass with their hand, and they’re worried about shoes?
He should take a UV light in their house and show them the filth. Unless they use bacterial soap and spend 10 minutes (I’ve been to West Africa, and they *don’t*) their hands are not clean.
Unbelievable.
That’ll teach him. We may see Muslims as human, but that doesn’t mean they see US as human.
And the lesson learned by landlords? Avoid renting to Muslims by any means you can utilize.
Religion of PISS.
No good deed... is right!
I know a realtor who worked very hard to find someone an apartment. She never took a commission and got the landlord to reduce the rent. The guy never paid his rent and after 6 months moved out in the middle of the night taking the appliances with him.
The realtor used to be a liberal. LOL
The Canadian landlord should evict them for taking part in a Cult
Old news, previously posted multiple times.
It’s baffling to me. It’s the fine that’s so unbelievable. The court was making a political statement. It’s so incredibly unjust.
