What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy and evict the family members of a deceased tenant, claiming they were unauthorized occupants who transferred occupancy without consent. A previous order dismissed the Landlord's application, and the Landlord sought a review, alleging a serious error in findings of fact regarding his due diligence in identifying the occupants.

The ruling

The Landlord's request for review is denied. The previous order LTB-L-076494-23, which allowed the occupants to remain as tenants, is confirmed. The Landlord failed to act within the statutory 60-day period after learning of the original tenant's death in 2018. The interim stay of the previous order is cancelled.
