What happened

The Tenant filed a request to review an eviction order (LTB-L-093360-24) issued on May 9, 2025. The Tenant claimed she was not reasonably able to participate in the original hearing on April 2, 2025, because she misunderstood the time the hearing would resume after a break and had to tend to her dogs. The Landlord provided evidence that support staff at the complex had notified the Tenant the hearing was about to start, but she failed to return. The Board found the Tenant's testimony not credible and determined she had failed to ensure her own attendance.

The ruling

The request to review the original eviction order is denied. The Board confirmed the order issued on May 9, 2025. The stay of eviction previously granted is lifted effective November 30, 2025, providing the Tenant approximately 12 weeks to find alternate accommodations with the assistance of housing supports.
