What happened

The Tenant requested a review of an eviction order issued on June 23, 2025, claiming they did not receive the Notice of Hearing. The Tenant admitted to not checking their mailbox because it was unsecured and they believed mail was being stolen. The Landlord countered that the Tenant never reported mailbox issues. The Board found the Tenant lacked due diligence and denied the review request but extended the stay of eviction to allow the Tenant time to find housing.

The ruling

The request for review is denied, and the original eviction order is confirmed. However, the stay of the eviction order is maintained until October 11, 2025, to provide the Tenant time to find alternative housing, noting the Tenant's long-term residency and recent payment of $4,000 toward arrears.
