What happened
The Tenant filed an application against the Landlord regarding maintenance and vital services issues. A hearing was held on February 27, 2025, which the Landlord did not attend. An order was issued in the Tenant's favor based on their uncontested evidence. The Landlord subsequently filed a request to review the order, claiming they were out of the country for an urgent family matter and could not participate. This review order denies the Landlord's request.
The ruling
The Landlord's request to review the original order (LTB-T-030587-24) is denied. The adjudicator found that the Landlord did not provide sufficient reason for failing to attend the original hearing or for not requesting a postponement in advance. The original order, which was based on the Tenant's uncontested evidence, is confirmed and remains unchanged.
