Dispute

Safety, Substantial Interference

Landlord

A.S., S.B.

Tenant

A.A.

What happened

The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy alleging substantial interference and safety concerns. After an initial order was issued on July 2, 2025, the Tenant requested a review, claiming they could not attend the original hearing due to preparations for a university graduation ceremony.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for a review of the order dated July 2, 2025, is denied. The Board determined that the Tenant's decision to skip the hearing for graduation preparations was a choice and did not meet the threshold for being unable to participate. The original order remains confirmed and unchanged.
