What happened

The Tenants requested a review of a previous order concerning their application about a bad faith eviction by the Landlord. The Tenants believed their application was dismissed for lack of evidence, even though they had submitted a photograph showing the unit was listed for sale after they vacated. This review order clarifies that the original order was actually decided in the Tenants' favor, their evidence was accepted, bad faith was established, and the Landlord was ordered to pay a fine. Consequently, the Tenants' review request was denied as no serious error had occurred.

The ruling

The Tenants' request to review the order of March 14, 2025, is denied. The Board found no serious error, clarifying that the original order had already ruled in the Tenants' favor, establishing a bad faith eviction by the Landlord and ordering the Landlord to pay an administrative fine as requested. The original order is confirmed and remains unchanged.
