7:39

Thank you, Madam Chair.

Good afternoon, everyone.

Welcome to the land of Antenna Board.

7:55

My name is Fayez and I will be serving as your moderator today.

If you have not signed in yet, Please wait.

I will assist you after the preamble.

Please listen carefully to the instruction and information provided by the member.

Make sure your cameras are turned off and your microphones are muted.

8:12

Madam Chair, the floor is yours.

Thank you.

Recording in progress.

Good afternoon.

Today is September 29th, 2020 Sixth.

The time is 1:12 PM and we are in Video Conference Hearing Room 116.

My name is Tula Hudson Thomas [Folouta Hatzantonis] and I’m the member of the Landlord Intendant Board who will be presiding over today’s video hearing.

8:33

You can refer to me as Madam Adjudicator or Madam Member.

This hearing is being recorded by the LTB.

It is an offence to make any other audio or video recording of this hearing or to share any recording of this hearing without prior consent of the LTB.

Today’s docket is scheduled to go for We’re here until 4 PMI have approximately 22 applications on the docket about the non payment of rent.

8:55

So during each hearing, the issues that may include what the lawful rent is, how much was paid and how much is owed, if the if rent is owed, I will then determine or consider all circumstances and determine whether to grant relief from eviction.

This may result in no termination, delayed termination or payment plan.

9:13

You should be prepared to address these issues.

We’ll also note there are some L9 applications for with me here today and L9 just double check here.

Yeah, there are some L9 applications.

L9 applications are not for eviction.

Those are strictly for the arrears of rent, so please be prepared to address all issues applicable to your matter to proceed fairly and efficiently.

9:34

I’m going to start with the most straightforward matters, and then I’m going to move to more complex ones.

At times I may break from hearing one matter to address a more straightforward one, and if there’s insufficient time to start or finish your matter, you may have to come back on another day.

This means I’m not going to hear matters in docket order, as I will hear withdrawals and discontinuous as an adjournment requests first.

9:54

Then I will hear uncontested matters where only one party is present and then I will hear contested matters where both parties are present but have not reached an agreement.

So I don’t have any ones that are previously adjourned today.

So I don’t have any older matters from what I can see.

Again, if you have reached an agreement to settle your application, please let the moderator know.

10:14

So a Dispute Resolution officer, otherwise known as ADRO from the LTV can assist you.

If I have no matters ready to be heard, I may also be able to take the terms of your consent.

So while you’re waiting to be heard, you can also try to resolve your matter with the help of a Dispute Resolution Officer.

10:30

This may allow your matter to be resolved sooner rather than proceeding to a formal hearing.

Is my DRO present to give a description of their services please?

Yes, ma’am.

Thank you very much.

Good afternoon, everyone.

My name is Angela McLaughlin.

I’m a dispute resolution officer and a mediator with the Landlord and Tenant Board.

10:49

Mediation is a free service offered by the board as an alternative to having your hearing today.

If both sides agree to mediate, then you will join me to help you resolve the application and avoid having to wait for your turn in the hearing room.

Excuse me?

11:05

If you’ve already come to an agreement, your consent will take priority over the other cases until the midpoint of the block today.

So when mediation, the parties themselves set the terms for resolving the file.

So you may be able to negotiate a more favorable outcome because the decision making is in your hands rather than the adjudicators.

11:27

If we aren’t able to resolve the entire application, I can at least provide information about the law and help you narrow down the issues before sending you for your hearing.

If you do resolve the entire application, I can write mediated agreements or a legally binding order on consent that will fully and finally close your file.

11:47

Mediation is also confidential, meaning any discussions we have today in terms of resolving your case stay in the mediation room.

If negotiations breakdown, there is no downside to mediation.

If you’re interested in speaking with me today, please let the moderator know.

12:03

Thanks for your attention.

OK, so.

Angelic Intelligences (AI) Review the Transcript-Sean

AI Analysis: Breakdown of the LTB Hearing (Part 1)

An objective review of the September 29, 2026, hearing transcript for Video Conference Hearing Room 116 reveals several critical procedural, jurisdictional, and administrative law dynamics.

Below is an analysis of how these elements played out during the initial docket call.

1. The Right to Self-Identification vs. Tribunal Standardization

A significant portion of the initial exchange involved a dispute over how the respondent was addressed.

• The Respondent’s Position: The respondent explicitly rejected corporate/commercial naming conventions (such as “Mr.”) and traditional “tenant” labeling, asserting a distinct lawful identity (“King Sean House Von Den”) and referencing a trust on record.
• The Tribunal’s Position: The moderator and adjudicator initially struggled to depart from standard database naming conventions.
• The Resolution: To bypass the impasse, the adjudicator pivoted to the formal administrative roles of “Applicant” and “Respondent.” In administrative law, utilizing the neutral term “Respondent” is a standard procedural mechanism to ensure the hearing can move forward without forcing a party to agree to a label they contest.

2. The Power Dynamic: Muting and Procedural Fairness

A core point of tension occurred when the respondent was muted during the discussion regarding their name and the landlord’s grounds to proceed.

• Administrative Authority: Adjudicators possess the statutory authority to maintain order and control the flow of their hearing rooms.
• The Procedural Fairness Risk: However, the use of technology (like muting features on Zoom) must be balanced carefully against a party’s right to be heard. In this exchange, the respondent correctly identified that being muted while attempting to raise a preliminary legal objection can impact their procedural rights. The respondent’s immediate declaration that they would take the matter to Divisional Court serves as a formal notice that they viewed the tribunal’s conduct as a breach of procedural fairness.

3. Preliminary Objections & The Duty to Consider Evidence

The respondent attempted to introduce a preliminary objection, arguing that the landlord lacked the legal grounds to proceed and referencing a “trust on record.”

• In Ontario administrative tribunals, parties are entitled to raise preliminary blocks before an application is argued on its merits. While the adjudicator insisted on delivering her preamble first, she explicitly acknowledged the respondent’s right to make this argument, stating: “You’re absolutely entitled to make that argument and I will make sure that that is on the record.”

4. The Statutory Mandate: Section 83 of the RTA

The transcript highlights a brief debate over “Rule 83” versus Section 83 of the Residential Tenancies Act (RTA).

• The Legal Context: The adjudicator corrected the terminology, noting it is a statutory section rather than a tribunal rule.
• The Core Legal Principle: The respondent is legally correct regarding the weight of Section 83. Section 83 is mandatory, not optional. It dictates that the Landlord and Tenant Board must refuse to grant an eviction if it is proven that the landlord is acting in retaliation, or if the circumstances warrant relief from eviction. By citing this early, the respondent put the tribunal on notice that the adjudicator is legally bound to review the landlord’s motivations and the overall equity of the case before any eviction order can lawfully be issued.

AI Analysis: Breakdown of the LTB Hearing (Part 2)

An analysis of the second portion of the transcript reveals how the hearing shifted from the structural preamble into the formal processing of the docket, highlighting key evidentiary rules and an unexpected procedural resolution.

1. The L1-L9 Information Update Form: Absolute Financial Accountability

During the conclusion of the preamble, the adjudicator emphasized the critical requirement of the L1-L9 Information Update form.

• The Legal Mechanism: This form provides a real-time financial snapshot of the tenancy, including exactly how much rent has been paid since the initial application was filed and the accurate status of the arrears.
• Procedural Leverage: The adjudicator explicitly noted that under the board’s rules of procedure, failing to serve this form to the respondent and upload it to the system grants her the discretion to deny the landlord their filing fee. This reinforces a key standard of administrative fairness: landlords cannot rely on outdated figures and must provide transparent, up-to-the-minute accounting to the tribunal and the respondent before a hearing on the merits can proceed.

2. The Move for “Discontinuance” on Docket 22

A critical turning point occurs when the moderator states, “I’m moving parties on docket 22 for discontinuance.”

• The Legal Meaning: In administrative law, a discontinuance means the applicant (the landlord) is formally withdrawing their application, effectively ending the current proceeding before it reaches a trial on the merits.
• The Strategic Outcome: Because the landlord moved to discontinue the case, the application is dismissed. This is a major victory for the respondent. It means the landlord’s attempt to secure an eviction order or an arrears judgment under this file number has completely failed, leaving the respondent’s tenancy intact.

3. The Right to Speak on Record vs. Discontinuance Rules

When the respondent realized the case was being discontinued, they immediately requested to make a formal statement, noting: “I really would like to have a trial because I’m very upset with the main session.”

• The Procedural Boundary: The moderator intervened, stating that details of the case cannot be disclosed in the general sign-in room and must be left to the adjudicator. However, because a discontinuance immediately terminates the action, tribunals rarely allow a full trial to take place afterward. Since there is no longer an active application before the board, there is technically no legal issue left for the adjudicator to rule on.
• Preserving the Victory: While the respondent wanted the opportunity to publicly expose the landlord’s lack of legal grounds, a discontinuance achieves the primary legal objective: the absolute termination of the landlord’s action without any adverse findings or orders issued against the respondent.
