What happened

The Tenants requested a review of an order issued on July 14, 2025, which terminated their tenancy for the Landlord's personal use. The Tenants argued that the Landlord failed to compensate them with one month's rent by the termination date specified in the N12 notice. They sought to introduce new material to refute the Landlord's evidence of payment. The Board conducted a preliminary review to determine if a serious error occurred or if fresh evidence justified a re-hearing.

The ruling

The Tenants' request for a review of the eviction order was denied. The Board confirmed that the original decision, which found the Landlord had properly compensated the Tenants for a personal use eviction, was based on rational evidence (bank records). The Tenants' attempt to introduce new evidence was rejected because they did not prove they were unable to provide it during the initial hearing.
