What happened

The Tenant requested a review of the order LTB-L-081671-22 issued on February 27, 2023 and that the order be stayed until the review is resolved. The review hearing took place on April 13, 2023, where the Tenant requested an adjournment as the Tenant's legal representative was unavailable. The Landlord opposed the request due to concerns of further delays, rent arrears, and the Tenant's behavior at the rental unit.

The ruling

The Board adjourned the matter to a hearing to be scheduled on a priority basis, which is peremptory on the Tenant. The parties are directed to attend the hearing and be prepared to proceed on the merits of the original application should the review request be granted.
