D) Joe, a landlord, applied to the appropriate board for relief from certain restrictions under the residential tenancy act. His request was refused. To his surprise, at the beginning of the session, one of the board members declared that he was the father of one of his tenants. He did this so that the all parties would be aware of any bias he might have and not be affected by it.
