What happened

Landlord applied for an order requiring Tenants to pay rent owed. The initial order was reviewed due to the Landlord's inability to participate in the original hearing. The review was granted, and a new hearing was held. The Landlord's claim for rent arrears exceeded the Board's monetary jurisdiction, but the Landlord chose to proceed with the Board rather than Superior Court.

The ruling

The review of the original order was granted due to the Landlord's inability to participate in the initial hearing. The Tenants are ordered to pay $35,000.00 in rent arrears (limited by the Board's jurisdiction) plus $201.00 for the application fee. Interest will accrue at 4% annually on any unpaid balance after December 23, 2022.
