Final answer:
The correct answer is option B, the Human Rights Code, which prohibits discrimination based on religious beliefs, including in situations related to housing such as apartment applications.
Step-by-step explanation:
A person applying for an apartment who is turned down because they are looking for people who have specific religious beliefs is most likely a violation of the Human Rights Code. Laws like the Title VII of the United States' Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin in employment, set the precedent for protecting individuals from various forms of discrimination, including housing and employment. Religious discrimination involves treating individuals unfavorably because of their religious beliefs, and this protection extends to those who are married to or associated with individuals of a particular religion.
In the context of Canadian law, the equivalent protection would be found in the Human Rights Code. The cited code in the question, the Criminal Code of Canada section 223 (1), does not apply to this situation as it deals with quite different legal matters. The Residential Tenancies Act focuses on landlord and tenant relations and not specifically on discrimination issues. There is no "Ontario Religious Priority Act" that relates to this context, making option B the correct answer.
