LTB adjudicator Khalid Akram orders rent from dead tenant

In this video, adjudicator Khalid Akram keeps the eviction factory churning, even against dead tenants. In a Kafkaesque manner, he disregards the landlord saying that the tenant has already died, and asks if the tenant is on the line to proceed with the hearing.

I am presenting some case facts from my recent experiences in Ontario, to alert the public about their potential health & safety risks, due to the corrupt (legal) system in Ontario. (They keep deleting this LTB review on GoogleMap, so I post it here; I have reported to CBC but they have not responded).

LTB proceedings were biased and unfair, and they have violated my human rights. LTB nor Tribunals Ontario does not respond to my official complaints. They have even suppressed the use in the hearings a warning letter from a medical professional about the health risks from exposure to the health hazards such as toxic mold (which was served to all parties over a year earlier), and downplayed the risk of exposure to asbestos to the Tenant(s)(the Board Members are aware of the obvious contraventions of the relevant laws; LTB, the municipal Property Standards, and the Landlord have colluded in this case). They have closed the case without considering any of the proposed remedies and no explanation after 2.5 years of this biased “legal” proceedings. I, the former Tenant, have left the apartment, the Province, and the Country to protect my health and safety/life late last year.

I've lived in an apartment in Ontario for a decade, and paid the rent to the Landlord in full without any delay (even during the Covid lock-down, without any government support; no CERB, etc.)

The Landlord had said that there was no asbestos nor lead used in the building when I moved in; they also said that they were going to replace the stained carpet (the former resident was deceased there from dementia and old age) with laminated wood-flooring, and going to make other repairs during the following winter months, so I decided to move in a decade ago. They later refused to work on any of that, until I started to develop multiple health issues from the prolonged exposures to health hazards (toxic mold, pests, and dusts).

The building was over 50 years old; there is no ventilation in the unit, especially during the winter months, as the windows become frozen shut; the building was not well-maintained, with crumbled walls (pieces falling onto the pavement below), moldy rotten window sills, and peeled/powdered paints and spores, which I inhaled/swallowed by accident in windy days — the building was falling apart; for example, at least two of the balconies on the building were literally falling apart; just before I moved out, my neighbours were telling me that they were afraid of falling from the upper floors.

Landlord refused to remove the mold and other health hazards from my living space. So, I have consulted with the municipal Health Unit, who had suggested to contact the Landlord-and-Tenant Board (LTB) to get an order to remove the health hazards from the unit and to obtain the asbestos test report from the property owner. A supervisor of the municipal Property Standards had also suggested to contact LTB, when reported the issues.

When I requested the property management (PMF) for a storage space, they have provided a basement storage space filled with crumbled wall debris, friable materials, and dusts saying “the space is ready for your use.” (an intentional tort?) It is required by laws (OHSA;RTA;municipal Act) for the owner to provide a written notice about ‘the Designated Substances (such as asbestos and lead).’ PMF has refused to provide the legally required document, although the Landlord has verbally claimed the building would be free of those substances — they have colluded with the municipal Property Standards (MPS) and LTB — they have needlessly delayed the investigation, reporting, multiple times the Tenant to present evidences, LTB selectively omitted Tenant’s evidences, and PMF/MPS/LTB suppressed the release of the inconvenient evidences of their contraventions, with no sensible reason, while I, the Tenant, continued to suffer from the prolonged exposures to health hazards and the undisclosed risk of exposure to asbestos (during the lockdown, also; my family physician was prejudicial; no government support was available). I have left the apartment, the Province, and the Country to protect my health and safety/life late last year.

Actually he first asked "Is the tenant on the line or anyone representing the tenant?" And then, after her response (let me point out she is the one who is representing the tenant, deceased or otherwise), then he says "I'm not talking to you right now OK? So I'm asking is the tenant on the line?" Aside from clearly being a senseless and heartless individual, he's also confused, and condescending to her when she responds to (technically) his request for her to say something, in the first place. And what a pompous prick to add in "Despite receiving notice of today's hearing by the Board". How dare the tenant not be present, when the Board hath submitted the lifeless corpse with a notice of hearing! When the Board hath spoketh, the dead must then riseth and do obeisance before the
