In Canada, landlords have strict requirements for tenants, such as employment letters, credit scores, references, and bank statements.

These documents are meant to prove the tenants’ income, financial stability, and reliability.

However, the Nigerian couple did not have any of these documents, as they were new to the country and had not found jobs yet.

They tried to explain their situation to the landlords, but they were rejected time and time again.
