What happened

Tenants applied for an order regarding illegal money collection by the Landlord. An order was issued in their favor on June 3, 2025, after a hearing where only the Tenants' agent attended. The Landlord, who was absent, requested a review on June 4, 2025, claiming a serious error and seeking to submit evidence that they had already paid the disputed amounts (key deposit, interest on last month's rent, and water charges). The LTB denied the review request, confirming the original order.

The ruling

The Landlord's request to review order LTB-T-055487-24 is denied. The original order issued on June 3, 2025, is confirmed and remains unchanged. The Board found that the Landlord's failure to attend the hearing and subsequent desire to submit new evidence does not meet the threshold of a serious error required for a review.
