What happened

The Landlord had obtained an order for eviction and rent arrears after the Tenants failed to appear at the initial hearing. The Tenants requested a review, with one Tenant claiming he had joined the virtual hearing but could not be heard due to technical issues. The Board reviewed this claim and found the Tenant's testimony to be inconsistent and not credible. Consequently, the Tenant's request for review was denied, and the stay on the original eviction order was lifted.

The ruling

The Tenant's request to review the original eviction order is denied. The Board found the Tenant's claim of being unable to participate in the original hearing due to technical issues was not credible due to inconsistent testimony and lack of evidence. The original order (LTB-L-006241-25) is confirmed and remains in effect. The interim stay on that order is lifted immediately.
