What happened

Tenant 1 requested a review of an order issued on June 4, 2025, which terminated the tenancy for non-payment of rent. Tenant 1 claimed she could not attend the original hearing because she had started a new job and could not get time off. The Adjudicator conducted a preliminary review without a hearing and found that choosing to attend work over a hearing does not constitute being 'reasonably unable to participate' under LTB rules.

The ruling

The request for a review of the order dated June 4, 2025, is denied. The original order, which likely involves the termination of tenancy and eviction for non-payment of rent, remains in full force and effect. The Board concluded that Tenant 1's work conflict was not a valid excuse for missing the hearing.
