Landlord

Tenant

D.A.

What happened

The Tenant requested a review of a consent order issued on September 10, 2025, which mandated the termination of the tenancy and payment of arrears. The Tenant argued that he was 74 years old, had difficulty reading due to broken glasses, and was pressured into attending the virtual hearing by the Landlord's representative. He claimed he did not fully understand the agreement reached during mediation and wished to contest the amount owed. The Board conducted a preliminary review of the request without a hearing, focusing on whether there was a serious error in the original order or if the Tenant was reasonably able to participate.

The ruling

The request to review the order dated September 10, 2025, is denied. The original order, which was based on a consent agreement between the Landlord and Tenant, remains in full force and effect. The Tenant failed to establish a serious error or a valid reason for his inability to participate reasonably in the original proceeding.
