What happened

The Landlord requested a review of an order issued on September 24, 2025, which ordered them to pay the Tenant $2,298.00 for an illegally retained rent deposit. The Landlord had failed to attend the initial hearing, admitting they received notice but assumed the Tenant would not pursue the matter because evidence had not been served. The LTB member determined this was a lack of due diligence and denied the request for a new hearing.

The ruling

The Landlord's request for review is denied. The original order issued on September 24, 2025, which requires the Landlord to pay $2,298.00 to the Tenant, remains confirmed and unchanged.
