Landlord And S.G. Tenant T.D. (the 'Landlord') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy and evict S. G. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. A de novo hearing of this application was conducted by videoconference on April 28, 2023. The Landlord and the Tenant attended the hearing. The Tenant declined the opportunity to speak with Tenant Duty Counsel prior to the commencement of the hearing. Preliminary Issue: 1. The Tenant stated he wanted to identify maintenance issues as the reason he stopped paying his monthly rent and seek a rent abatement. Under section 82 of the Act, the Board shall permit the tenant to raise any issue that could be the subject of an application made by the tenant under this Act. However, the Tenant is required to provide the Landlord with advance notice of his intention to raise section 82 at the hearing. The requirement was identified in the Notice of Hearing package sent to him which included the form, “s.82 Issues a Tenant Can Raise at a Rent Arrears Hearing”. He did not file any evidence with the Board. The Tenant admitted he has failed to comply with this requirement and consequently, his request to raise section 82 is denied. The Tenant reserves the right to raise these issues and will further investigate filing his own application. Order Page: 1 of 3 Determinations: 1. The parties agreed to the following: 2.
