What happened

The Landlord sought to terminate the tenancy for personal use by his son. The Tenant filed a review request against the original eviction order, claiming the Landlord acted in bad faith because a basement unit was allegedly available for the son's use. The Tenant argued the basement was finished, while the Landlord contended it was gutted and uninhabitable due to mold damage.

The ruling

The Tenant's request to review the eviction order was denied. the Board confirmed the original decision, finding that the Landlord's son genuinely required the unit and that an alternative basement space was uninhabitable. However, due to the Tenant's limited income and medical conditions, the Board granted a 30-day extension, lifting the stay of the eviction order on August 16, 2025.
