What happened

Landlord applied to terminate tenancy, alleging Tenant transferred occupancy without authorization. Tenant requested review of initial order, claiming inability to attend original hearing due to being out of the country. Review granted, application reheard.

The ruling

The Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy is dismissed. The Tenant did not transfer occupancy of the rental unit to an unauthorized occupant. The alleged unauthorized occupant is determined to be an authorized guest, and the Tenant remains in possession of the rental unit with sufficient connection and control.
