(the 'L.') applied for an order to terminate the tenancy A. evict M. B. (the 'Tenant') because the Tenant did not pay the rent that the Tenant owes. This application was heard by videoconference on February 16, 2023. The matter was adjourned as the Tenant disconnected at approximately 4:00 p.m. Prior to the Tenant disconnecting there were discussions about the matter returning March 1, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. I waited until 4:30 p.m. before ending the video hearing. Based on the email thread, I am satisfied the Tenant knew about hearing date of March 1, 2023 at 6:00 p.m., as she replied to Mr. Pacheco “I won’t be attending the hearing as I have accepted to move out of the unit...” Based on those submissions I proceed with the hearing. Only the L.'s Legal Representative Patrick Pacheco attended the hearing. As of 6:18 p.m., the Tenant was not present or represented at the hearing. There was no record of a request to adjourn the hearing. As a result, the hearing proceeded with only the L.'s evidence. Determinations: Order Page: 1 of 4  File Number: LTB-L-040410-22 1.
