Dispute

Damage to Property, Non-payment of Rent, Substantial Interference

Landlord

N.D., J.D.

Tenant

C.P.

What happened

The Landlords originally applied for rent arrears, out-of-pocket costs for interference, and repair costs for damages. An order was issued in the Landlords' favor on August 15, 2025. The Tenant requested a review of this order, claiming they were unable to participate in the hearing because they believed the hearing was scheduled for a different date when their own applications were to be heard. The LTB Member conducted a preliminary review without a hearing and found that the Tenant was properly notified of the correct hearing date and had no reasonable grounds for the alleged confusion.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for a review of the order issued on August 15, 2025, is denied. The original order remains confirmed and unchanged as the Tenant failed to demonstrate they were reasonably unable to participate in the original hearing.
