What happened
The Tenant filed a request for review of a previous order that terminated the tenancy and ordered eviction for non-payment of rent. The Tenant argued that they were unable to reasonably participate in the electronic hearing, citing discomfort with the format and the presence of other participants. The Tenant also alleged that the adjudicator erred in calculating the rent arrears by not accounting for an overpayment and a deduction related to the sale of a microwave to the Landlord, and claimed the adjudicator was biased for questioning the Tenant about vehicle expenses. The LTB member conducted a preliminary review without a hearing.
The ruling
The Tenant's request for review is denied. The original order (LTB-L-027668-25) issued on July 17, 2025, which likely ordered eviction for non-payment of rent, is confirmed and remains unchanged. The LTB found no serious errors in the original proceeding or decision.
