What happened

The Landlords filed a review request of an order that required them to reimburse the Tenants for illegal charges (hot water tank rental) and return a rent deposit. The Landlords argued they were unable to participate reasonably and that the hearing member made serious errors regarding the weight of evidence and the requirement of a 60-day termination notice. The Tenants had previously filed T1 and T5 applications, with the T5 being withdrawn and the T1 succeeding.

The ruling

The Landlord's request for a review of the order dated October 24, 2025, is denied. The original order, which mandated the Landlord to return the rent deposit and reimburse illegal charges to the Tenant, remains in full force and effect. The Board found no merit in the Landlord's claims of inability to participate or serious legal error.
