What happened

Tenant 1 requested a review of an order dated August 6, 2025, which terminated the tenancy due to substantial interference with the reasonable enjoyment of others. Tenant 1 claimed she was not reasonably able to participate because she was unprepared and wanted a second chance to submit evidence. She further alleged that the original adjudicator was biased, claiming the Member referred to a guest as an 'undesirable' based on their appearance. The Landlord opposed the review, maintaining that the original decision was based on credible witness testimony and the Tenant's own acknowledgment of noise issues.

The ruling

The request to review the order issued on August 6, 2025, is denied. The Board found no serious errors in the original proceeding and determined that the Tenants had a reasonable opportunity to present their case. The original order terminating the tenancy and evicting the Tenants remains in full force.
