What happened
The Landlord applied for a review of a previous order that dismissed their application for eviction for personal use. The original application was dismissed because the Landlord's son, the intended occupant, did not testify, and the Tenant provided evidence suggesting the eviction was a retaliatory response to a refused rent increase. The Landlord argued this was a serious error, citing case law regarding witness testimony requirements.
The ruling
The Landlord's request for a review is denied. The original order dismissing the Landlord's application to terminate the tenancy for personal use is confirmed and remains unchanged. The Board found no serious error in the initial determination that the Landlord failed to prove good faith, particularly in light of evidence suggesting the application was retaliatory.
