Original order was issued on May 11, 2026 after a hearing the Tenant did not attend.
Tenant submitted a review request claiming family matters prevented participation but gave no supporting details.

Notice of hearing was both mailed on March 30, 2026, and emailed on February 25, 2026; Tenant did not deny receipt.
Per So v. Canadian Mental Health Association (2024 ONSC 3371), a review request requires sufficient information supporting inability to participate or a serious error.
Section 83(1) discretionary relief does not apply independently at the review stage; Tenant's request for a payment plan is not grounds for review.
