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.

Kadince Ball, 18, graduated from high school in the spring and was elated to learn she’d been accepted into Western’s medical science program. 

“I’ve always wanted to be a doctor and medical schools are getting more competitive now, so it’s important to have a good university bachelor degree and Western is one of the top-rated ones in Canada,” Ball said.
