T.R.

What happened

The Tenant requested a review of an order terminating the tenancy for non-payment of rent, claiming the Landlord misrepresented the last month's rent deposit. The LTB denied the request because the Tenant failed to attend the original hearing to contest the evidence and did not provide a reason for their absence, noting that a review is not an opportunity to present a better case than what was offered initially.

The ruling

The Tenant's request for a review of the order dated November 28, 2025, is denied. The original order remains unchanged, as the Tenant failed to attend the hearing to dispute the facts regarding the rent deposit and did not provide a valid reason for their absence. The LTB confirmed that a review cannot be used simply to present a different version of facts that should have been raised during the initial hearing.
