Osorio v. Atkinson Housing Co-operative Inc.: LTB Jurisdiction in Co-op Evictions

Dispute Summary

The appellant, Mr. Osorio, appeals three orders of the Landlord and Tenant Board that found he was not a member of the respondent non-profit housing co-operative and ordered his eviction from the unit in the co-op. The appellant argues that the Board did not have jurisdiction to evict him, erred in determining he was not entitled to notice of the initial hearing, erred in finding he was not a member of the co-op, and erred in failing to consider whether his notice to resign his membership was valid.

Determinations

• The Board lacked jurisdiction to evict the appellant as a non-member
• The appellant was not entitled to notice of the initial hearing as a non-member
• The Board's finding that the appellant was not a co-op member was upheld
• The appellant's claim about the validity of his membership resignation was dismissed
• The appellant lacked standing to challenge orders against his ex-spouse
