L.A.P.S.

What happened

The Tenant filed a review request for an order issued on July 25, 2025, which had dismissed a maintenance application. The Tenant claimed to have new information to respond to the Landlord's position but failed to explain why this information was not presented at the original hearing on June 5, 2025. The core issue of the original dispute involved allegations of cockroach infestations and the adequacy of the Landlord's pest control measures.

The ruling

The request to review the order dated July 25, 2025, is denied. The Board confirmed the original decision, which dismissed the Tenant's maintenance application, finding that the Tenant failed to establish a serious error or provide fresh evidence regarding the Landlord's response to cockroach issues.
