What happened

The Tenant filed a request for review of an eviction order issued on September 5, 2025, claiming he did not receive the Notice of Hearing because his ex-fiancé had moved out and taken his mail. The Landlord countered that he had sent electronic updates to the Tenant's known email addresses. The Board determined the Tenant failed to exercise due diligence and was deemed to have received the notice, thus denying the review request and lifting the previous stay of eviction.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for a review of the eviction order is denied. The original order issued on September 5, 2025, which terminated the tenancy for non-payment of rent, is confirmed. The stay of that order is lifted immediately, allowing the Landlord to proceed with eviction and collection of arrears.
