What happened

The Tenant filed a request to review an eviction order issued for non-payment of rent, claiming she was unable to participate in the original hearing because she was out of town from late May to mid-July 2025 and did not receive the notice. The Board found that the Notice of Hearing was both mailed and emailed to the Tenant in mid-March 2025, long before she left town. Consequently, the Board determined the Tenant was reasonably able to participate and denied the review request.

The ruling

The request to review the original order is denied. The original order terminating the tenancy remains in effect. The stay of the eviction order is lifted effective September 30, 2025, providing the Tenant a brief window to either void the order through payment or find alternative housing.
