Decision
The request for review of the order issued on May 8, 2026, is denied. The original order is confirmed and remains unchanged.
Dispute
The Landlord requested a review of an order regarding an application for possession for personal use. The review request argued that the original decision was incorrect, but the adjudicator determined that the Landlord was simply expressing disagreement with the original findings and failed to establish grounds for a review.
Determinations
- The Landlord's request for review largely restated the Landlord's position from the original hearing.
- There was no evidence that the original Member applied improper principles or that there was insufficient evidence to support the original conclusions.
- The Landlord's disagreement with the findings is not sufficient grounds for a review.
