What happened

Tenants requested a review of an eviction order (LTB-L-048108-24) that was issued after they failed to attend the hearing on February 28, 2025. The original order was for persistent late payment of rent. The tenants claimed they were busy with work and forgot about the hearing. The Board denied the review request, stating that forgetting the hearing date does not meet the criteria for being unable to participate, and no serious error was found in the original order.

The ruling

The Tenants' request to review the eviction order LTB-L-048108-24 is denied. The original order, which terminated the tenancy effective April 14, 2025 for persistent late payment of rent, is confirmed and remains unchanged. The Board found the Tenants' reason for missing the hearing—forgetting due to being busy at work—did not meet the legal standard for a review, as it demonstrated a lack of reasonable diligence.
