What happened
The Tenant applied for remedies concerning substantial interference with enjoyment, withholding of vital services, and maintenance failures. An original order was issued on April 2, 2025. The Landlord requested a review of that order, arguing that the Board exceeded its authority by terminating the tenancy when the Tenant had not explicitly requested it in the application forms, and disputing the termination date. The Landlord also claimed to have evidence regarding the return of keys.
The ruling
The Landlord's request to review the order dated April 2, 2025, is denied. The original order, which likely found the Landlord failed to maintain the unit and terminated the tenancy, remains in effect. The Board confirmed that it has the power to amend applications to include termination even if not explicitly checked on the form, provided there is no prejudice to the other party.
