What happened

The Landlord requested a review of an order issued on July 7, 2025, which resolved a Tenant's application regarding substantial interference and harassment. The Landlord claimed they were unable to participate in the previous merit hearing on April 23, 2025, because they were not notified. The Landlord alleged a former employee failed to inform them of the rescheduled date. However, evidence showed the Landlord and his son were present at the preliminary conference where the need for a merit hearing was discussed, and the notice was sent to the Landlord's correct email address.

The ruling

The Landlord's request for a review is denied. The original order issued on July 7, 2025, is confirmed and remains in effect. The stay of that order is lifted immediately. The Landlord is not entitled to a re-hearing as the failure to attend the original merit hearing was due to their own lack of diligence.
