Non-payment of Rent

Non-payment of rent (N4)

Landlord

Elm Place Inc. – 200/222 Elm Street

Tenant

M.S.A.R.

What happened

The Tenant requested a review of an LTB order terminating the tenancy for non-payment of rent. The Tenant claimed they were unable to participate in the original hearing because they had lost their mailbox key, discovered the notice of hearing late, and had a conflicting important appointment. The Board conducted a preliminary review without a hearing and found that the Tenant failed to provide sufficient evidence that they were reasonably unable to participate, especially as a text message exchange showed the Tenant was aware of the hearing two days prior and failed to request an adjournment.

The ruling

The request to review order LTB-L-074634-25 is denied. The original order, which terminated the tenancy and ordered eviction due to non-payment of rent, is confirmed and remains unchanged. The Tenant failed to prove they were reasonably unable to attend the original hearing.
