This is the best summary I could come up with:


When Gianisa Adisaputri and Paul Ralph were searching for a place to live back in 2019, they thought they'd found the perfect spot.

But some advocates say the process to file a complaint against landlords for discriminating against those with children takes time and does little to help those with an urgent need to find housing.

Other provinces, meanwhile, have similar backlogs, with an average wait of almost 600 days in Ontario, and more than one year in British Columbia, just for a complaint to be screened.

After reading an article about the struggles single moms can face finding housing, Adisaputri and Ralph decided to share their story.

For Mallory Gunn, who ran into similar issues but declined to pursue a complaint, her urgent need to find housing eclipsed everything else.

In an email, the Nova Scotia Human Rights Commission declined to comment on Adisaputri and Ralph's case and the complaints process.
