What happened
The Tenant requested a review of an order issued on May 30, 2025, which terminated the tenancy for seriously impairing the safety of others. The Tenant claimed she could not attend the original hearing on February 5, 2025, because she was incarcerated and did not receive the notice of hearing as her mail was being held by a social worker. The Landlord countered with evidence, including a news article, suggesting the Tenant was not incarcerated on the hearing date and was seen at the complex. The Adjudicator found the Tenant's testimony not credible due to inconsistencies in her timeline and her eventual admission that she may have received the notice but failed to open it.
The ruling
The Tenant's request for a review of the eviction order is denied as the Tenant failed to provide a credible reason for missing the original hearing. The original order terminating the tenancy remains in effect. The stay of eviction is lifted on July 18, 2025, to allow the Tenant limited time to relocate while prioritizing the safety of other residents.
