What happened
The Tenants applied for an order regarding illegal collection/retention of money (a pet deposit), substantial interference with enjoyment, harassment, and maintenance failures. The primary issue at the hearing was whether the application was filed within the statutory one-year limitation period, as the Tenants moved out over a year before the filing date.
The ruling
The Tenants' application was dismissed because it was filed four days after the one-year limitation period expired. The adjudicator ruled that the Board has no legal authority to extend the filing deadline, making the Tenants' reasons for the delay (medical issues) irrelevant to the legal outcome.
