E.M.

What happened

The Tenant requested a review of an order (LTB-L-008463-25) that was issued after they failed to attend the hearing for non-payment of rent. The Tenant claimed they were at work but did not provide evidence of being denied time off, nor did they attempt to reschedule the hearing or send a representative. The Landlord and Tenant Board denied the review request.

The ruling

The Tenant's request to review the eviction order LTB-L-008463-25 is denied. The adjudicator found that the Tenant did not provide a sufficient reason for failing to attend the original hearing. Choosing to attend work without proof of being denied leave or attempting to reschedule does not meet the criteria for a review. The original order is confirmed and remains in full effect.
