Faced with a property manager who refused to help, they turned to the Tenancy Tribunal, which fast-tracked their case under a new pilot program for urgent health and safety threats.

This case exposes how long others may be waiting in dangerous conditions—and how pilot programs like this could be the lifeline they need.
