What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy based on good faith requirement for residential occupation, major repairs/renovations, and non-payment of rent. An initial order was issued in the Landlord's favor after the Tenants failed to attend the hearing. Tenant 2 requested a review of the order, claiming they never received the Notice of Hearing and were unaware of the proceedings until a separate conference occurred. The Landlord opposed the review, providing evidence of courier delivery and noting that the Board's mailings were not returned.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for a review of the eviction order was denied because the Board found the Tenants were properly served with the Notice of Hearing and failed to attend due to a lack of diligence. The original order for termination and eviction remains in place; however, the stay of that order is extended until September 30, 2025, to provide the Tenants time to relocate.
