What happened

Tenant appealed LTB decision dismissing her application about being wrongly locked out. LTB found she was not a tenant of the rental unit. Tenant sought interim relief to live in the unit or stay the LTB decision pending appeal.

The ruling

The court denied the tenant's request to occupy the rental unit pending appeal but ordered the landlord not to re-rent the premises until the appeal is heard. The appeal will be expedited. No costs were awarded due to divided success on the motion.
