A BC tenant has been ordered to pay $3,500 to his landlord after he hoodwinked the Residential Tenancy Branch about why he'd been evicted, which led to the landlord being ordered to pay the tenant $57,000.
Months later, Dehpour had him evicted, but then unbeknownst to the landlord, the tenant filed a dispute with the Residential Tenancy Branch.
Totally unaware a dispute was going on at the Residential Tenancy Branch, the landlord didn't show up at the hearing.
Dehpour then filed for a judicial review of the Residential Tenancy Branch decision at the BC Supreme Court.
Justice Hoffman overturned the $57,000 award, saying it had only been granted because Mohammadi had given the Tenancy Branch misinformation.
