WITHDRAWAL SHOULD NOT CONSTITUTE A DISGUISED APPEAL FROM THE DECISION MADE BY THE TRIBUNAL

The tenant asks to be relieved of her failure to have filed a withdrawal request within the time limit and the withdrawal of the decision issued on October 28, 2020, which granted the landlord's request for termination of the lease and recovery of the rent.

In her request for withdrawal the tenant explains her summary means of defence that she intends to assert: the rent, interest, legal costs as well as the rent for November 2020 were paid on November 2, 2020. Moreover, the tenant has paid $720.00 as a deposit (security deposit) at the signing of the lease. Also, the landlord receives higher amounts of rent compared to the actual price of the rent. The tenant gave the cheque for December 2020 to the landlord's daughter but the latter returned the cheque to the tenant's adolescent daughter and the landlord therefore refuses to collect the rent. In addition, according to the withdrawal request, a verbal agreement had been reached between the parties allowing her to pay the rent on the 20th of each month.
