What happened

The Appellant (Tenant) appealed a Landlord and Tenant Board order that found she was not a tenant of the rental unit and therefore the Residential Tenancies Act did not apply. The Appellant alleged that the Board erred in law by not allowing her to play certain recordings she had filed of a witness, Barbara O'Connor, which she claimed resulted in a denial of procedural fairness.

The ruling

The Divisional Court dismissed the appeal, finding no error in the Board's decision to not allow the audio recordings. The Court ordered the Appellant to pay the Landlord $1,000 in costs for the appeal.
