What happened

The Landlord applied to terminate the tenancy because the rental unit was sold and the purchaser required possession for personal residential use. An initial order was issued on September 15, 2025, granting eviction. The Tenants requested a review of that order, claiming they were unable to participate in the original hearing and that there were legal errors in the Landlord's application and the Board's decision.

The ruling

The Tenants' request for a review of the September 15, 2025, order was denied. The Board found that the Tenants' choice to prioritize volunteer work over the hearing was not a valid reason for absence. The original order, which terminated the tenancy effective November 12, 2025, for the purchaser's personal use, remains in full effect.
