What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy due to persistent late payment of rent. An initial order for eviction was issued after the Tenant failed to attend the hearing. The Tenant filed for a review, claiming they believed the matter was resolved by a separate application and was traveling at the time. The Landlord countered that the Tenant was specifically notified of the hearing via email and attachments detailing the late payments. The Board reviewed whether the Tenant was reasonably able to participate.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for review of the eviction order is denied as the Tenant's failure to attend the original hearing was due to a lack of diligence rather than an inability to participate. The original order issued on October 17, 2025, is confirmed. The stay of the eviction order is lifted effective December 21, 2025, providing the Tenant 30 days to secure new housing.
