What happened

The Tenant applied for an order determining that the Landlord collected or retained money illegally. An initial order (LTB-T-037856-25) was issued in favour of the Tenant on an uncontested basis because the Landlord failed to attend the hearing. The Landlord subsequently requested a review of that order, claiming he was sick and unable to participate.

The ruling

The Landlord's request for a review of the order dated September 24, 2025, is denied. The original order, which requires the Landlord to pay the Tenant $1,658.00 for illegally collected or retained money, remains in full force and effect. The Board found the Landlord was not diligent in attending the original hearing or following rescheduling procedures.
