What happened

The tenant, Kevin Grace, applied for an order determining that the landlord, Taylor Butler, and Minto Rental Office collected or retained money illegally. The application was filed by the tenant's mother, Nancy Lawrence, without the tenant's knowledge or authorization.

The ruling

The application was dismissed because the Board found that the tenant, Kevin Grace, did not sign or file the application, and that his mother, Nancy Lawrence, did not have the authority to file the application on his behalf.
