Tenant's application for withdrawal overturned by landlord's evidence

The Court of Quebec rectifies an application for retraction that was granted to a tenant by the Tribunal administratif du logement (TAL) when the landlord was prevented from filing evidence. The tenant who had been ordered to pay $3,374 in damages for leaving her rent without right had raised the issue that she had not received the notices and summons for a hearing on July 17, 2020. The TAL initially found that this was serious evidence to allow a retraction on this issue. However, the landlord was deprived of the right to file evidence of the notice to appear at the hearing, so he went to the Quebec Court to have the TAL decision reversed.
