What happened

The Landlord requested a review of an order issued on March 12, 2025, from a T2 application filed by the Tenant concerning harassment and substantial interference. The Landlord and his representative had failed to attend the original hearing. The Landlord claimed he was not reasonably able to participate due to confusion with a hearing date for a second, separate application filed by the Tenant. The Board denied the review request, concluding that the failure to attend was due to the representative's lack of diligence in managing hearing dates, not an inability to participate.

The ruling

The Landlord's request to review order LTB-T-094492-23 is denied. The Board confirmed the original order and lifted the stay that was put in place by an interim order. The decision was based on the finding that the Landlord's representative was not diligent in managing hearing dates, which led to their non-participation, and this did not constitute a valid reason for review.
