What happened

The Tenant requested a review of a termination order, claiming he was unaware of the original hearing date. The Landlord provided evidence that the Tenant had acknowledged receipt of emails regarding the hearing process. The Adjudicator found the Tenant's claims not credible, concluding the Tenant likely avoided the hearing to delay eviction given his inability to pay significant rent arrears.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for review is denied. The original order issued on May 21, 2025, terminating the tenancy for non-payment of rent, is confirmed. The stay of eviction is lifted effective September 15, 2025, providing the Tenant a short extension to find alternative housing due to his financial circumstances.
