What happened

The Tenant requested a review of an eviction order issued on May 7, 2025, claiming she was unable to participate in the original hearing because she did not understand the English documents and did not receive the email notification. The Tenant had previously requested French language services, and the Board found that the hearing notices were provided in both English and French. Furthermore, Board records indicated the Tenant accessed the online portal shortly after the second notice was emailed, undermining her claim that she was unaware of the hearing.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for a review of the eviction order was denied because she failed to show that she was unable to participate in the original hearing due to circumstances beyond her control. The Board found her claims of not receiving the hearing notice to be non-credible, as she had accessed the LTB portal on the day the notice was sent. The stay of the original order is lifted effective September 30, 2025, confirming the Landlord's right to proceed with eviction and collection of arrears.
