What happened

The Tenant requested a review of an eviction order, claiming he never received the Notice of Hearing because he had already vacated the unit when it was mailed. The Board granted the review and heard the landlord's non-payment application de novo alongside the tenant's maintenance claims regarding bedbugs and common area lighting.

The ruling

The review was granted, and the original order was replaced. The tenancy is terminated effective the move-out date of December 30, 2024. The Tenant is ordered to pay the Landlord $1,670.22, which reflects rent arrears and the filing fee, minus a $100.00 maintenance abatement, the rent deposit, and interest on that deposit.
