What happened

The Landlords applied to terminate the tenancy for purchaser's personal use following an agreement of purchase and sale. The original application was dismissed after a hearing on March 31, 2025, because the Member found the Landlords failed to prove the legitimacy and good faith of the transaction. The Purchaser Landlord requested a review, arguing serious errors of fact, law, and procedure, including the improper use of hearsay evidence regarding the Landlord's intent to re-rent for higher rent and a denial of procedural fairness.

The ruling

The request to review the order dated April 15, 2025, is denied. The original order, which dismissed the Landlord's application for eviction, remains unchanged. The adjudicator found that the Landlord failed to establish any serious errors in the original decision and that the finding of a lack of good faith regarding the purchase agreement was reasonable based on the evidence provided.
