What happened

Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict Tenant due to non-payment of rent and substantial interference with reasonable enjoyment. Following an order issued on October 17, 2025, in favor of Landlord, Tenant filed a request for review. Tenant claimed they were unable to reasonably participate in the original hearing due to their state of mind. The Board reviewed the hearing recording and found that Tenant did participate, was aware of the issues, and did not raise any barriers to participation at the time.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for review is denied. The original order issued on October 17, 2025 (LTB-L-014399-25) remains confirmed and unchanged. The Board found no objective evidence that the Tenant was unable to participate in the original hearing.
