What happened

The Tenant requested a review of an order that denied his motion to set aside a previous eviction order. The eviction order was originally issued because the Tenant failed to meet conditions from a prior settlement. The Tenant missed his motion hearing, initially blaming technical difficulties but later admitting he misplaced the Notice of Hearing. The Landlord sought to lift the stay of eviction due to arrears exceeding $5,000.00.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for review is denied, and the order issued on October 30, 2024, is confirmed. The stay of eviction is lifted immediately, meaning the Landlord can proceed with the eviction. The Board found the Tenant's reasons for missing the previous hearing were due to his own negligence rather than circumstances beyond his control.
