A first-year Western University student who arrived in London, Ont., from Saskatchewan had a rental agreement cancelled last minute by a landlord who said she didn't like her tattoos, in an act one lawyer said could result in a small-claims court action.

Wearing long sleeves and pants would have solved that problem.

This is so stupid, who cares what her tattoos look like? I hope the landlord does get his ass sued.

Now she gets to win a lawsuit and avoids having to have a crazy person as a landlord.

Its a cultural thing. Tattoos are the realm of gangsters and thugs in certain parts of Asia. Tourists are not allowed to visit bathhouses in Japan if they have tattoos. Only licensed medical professionals are allowed to do tattoos in Korea. The landlord is from Korea, thus her repulsion to tattoos. Her repulsion to tattoos may not pass legal muster when it comes to who she is willing to rent to in Canada however, and breaking a signed lease definitely will not pass muster.
