What happened

The Tenants requested a review of an eviction order issued on June 20, 2025, claiming they were unable to attend the original hearing because Tenant 2 suffered an injury and required emergency hospital care. The Landlord opposed the review, citing substantial rent arrears and lack of evidence for the emergency. The Board considered whether the Tenants exercised due diligence in participating in the proceedings.

The ruling

The request to review the original eviction order is denied as the Tenants failed to prove they were unable to attend the initial hearing. The stay of the eviction order is lifted immediately due to substantial rent arrears and the Landlord's status as an individual. The original order remains in full force.
