What happened
The Tenant requested a review of an order dated August 21, 2025, which required the Tenant to pay rent arrears and NSF charges. The Tenant did not attend the original hearing on July 9, 2025, claiming they were overseas caring for an ill family member. The Tenant's prior request to reschedule had been denied because the Landlord did not consent. The Board found that the Tenant failed to exercise reasonable diligence by not attending virtually or sending a representative to request an adjournment on the day of the hearing.
The ruling
The request for a review of the order issued on August 21, 2025, is denied. The original order remains in full force and effect. The Board concluded that the Tenant had sufficient notice and opportunity to participate in the original hearing but failed to do so or follow proper procedure for an adjournment.
