Tenant's 'nightmare' as landlords refuse to pay $4k ordered by tribunal

Melanie Earley Reporter from Western Leader

Anna Boivin has been living in a rental for 12 years with her son and daughter. In 2011, Boivin got new landlords, Mingjun Chen and Min Cao, who she said would “randomly appear” in her house for inspections.
