What happened
The Tenant filed a request to review an eviction order issued on August 21, 2025. The Tenant’s legal representative sought an adjournment, arguing the Tenant lacked the capacity to participate due to being Indigenous, deaf, and requiring accommodation. The Board denied the adjournment because no medical evidence was provided and the Tenant was absent for unknown reasons. Consequently, the review was denied as no evidence was presented to support it.
The ruling
The LTB denied the Tenant's request to review the previous eviction order. Although the Tenant is deaf and on ODSP, the lack of medical evidence or the Tenant's presence at the hearing led to the dismissal of the adjournment and the review. The stay on the original eviction order will be lifted on January 31, 2026, allowing the Tenant extra time to find new housing given the holiday season and their personal circumstances.
