Marcella Zoia, the woman accused of throwing a chair off a downtown Toronto high-rise balcony, has pleaded guilty to mischief endangering the public.

Zoia's lawyer Gregory Leslie said she is remorseful and he said the objective is to settle the matter before it goes to trial.

A two-month rent strike at a west Toronto highrise is expected to end after a landlord abandoned a bid to raise tenants' rents by more than double the amount recommended by the government.
