What happened

The Co-op Member filed a request to review an order that terminated their occupancy and evicted them for non-payment and persistent late payment of housing charges. The Member claimed they were unable to participate effectively in the original hearing due to technical issues (poor internet) and personal stress (mother's medical condition). Additionally, the Member argued that the housing charges were illegal because the unit did not meet property standards. The Board reviewed the record and determined that the Member had been accommodated during the hearing and that the LTB lacks jurisdiction to address maintenance-related offsets for Co-op housing charges under the Residential Tenancies Act.

The ruling

The request to review order LTB-C-095717-24 is denied. The original order, which granted the Co-op's application to terminate occupancy and evict the Member for non-payment and persistent late payment of housing charges, is confirmed and remains unchanged. The Board found no serious error in the hearing process or the legal determinations regarding jurisdiction over housing charges.
