To nobody’s surprise, after 6 weeks, triple of the delay the commissioner(judge in an administrative tribunal) promised, the Régie du logement of Quebec eventually rendered a decision in favor of the landlord.
Here are some things in the decision may interest the public:
1. Despite the fact that there are two hearings held on the case on different dates, despite the fact that the commissioner who presided the 2nd hearing admitted it by saying that we would not go through the first part that we did last time, the commissioner reiterated the fact to “L’audience de cette demande en fixation du loyer s’est tenue (date)/ the hearing was held on (a specific date, one day)” which is not true;
2. At the beginning of the 2nd hearing, the commissioner instructed the Defendant (tenant) to talk only if she was so allowed. Yet, to the Defendant’s surprise, it was at the very end of the hearing and even after the commissioner had already clearly expressed her satisfaction with the Plaintiff’s testifying, the commissioner gave the Defendant merely 5 minutes to contest the suspicious documents presented by the Plaintiff as an unfair surprise. The Defendant (tenant) responded that it was impossible for her or anybody to conduct an effective contest to the big quantity of documents presented as an unfair surprise. Yet, the decision reads as “la locataire omit toutefois de présenter des éléments de preuve probants et pertinents pour contrer les affirmations de la locataire/ the tenant party omitted to present compelling and relevant evidence to contest the landlord’s claims”. Wow, it reminds me of Secretary Clinton’s Benghazi testify, quote “he (Chris Stevens) knows where to pull the levers, where to go for information, where to register concerns…he understood completely that where anything he requested or anything he was questioning should be directed”, blaming the victim and wiped off her faults and responsibilities!
3. Although the commissioner seemed acknowledged the existence of the 1st hearing, she refused to take the assessment performed during the previous hearing and ignored the contradictory testimonies given by the Plaintiff;
4. Generally speaking, a decision of an administrative tribunal is subject to appeal in the Court of Quebec, but the Régie du logement denied the possibility for rent-fixing cases and exchanged it with a revocation with costs ($73) which has almost no chance to be accepted and then you may ask for review with costs ($73) which is to anybody’s common sense that it has 0 chance to let any Quebecois admit his/her own fault.
As a matter of a fact, the Regie du logement systematically allows landlords to unfairly surprise the tenants, makes it easier for landlords to win a case with a cost of $73 whereas the tenants have to pay DOUBLE to have a mere chance to seek justice!
5. They knew the decision is unfair. In this specific case of which the Defendant party is Chinese, they came up with a deliberately played number: $15.88, means “I will have fortune” in Chinese culture. Rendered an unfair decision and justified it with an illusive word, so justice in the Régie du logement!

2016/07/20： régie du logement做出对房东有利的判决；
2016/07/27：被告（房客）收到判决；
2016/07/28：被告（房客）要求撤销裁定（论点、论据、证据充分）；
2016/08/05： 被告（房客）收到régie du logement受理重审裁定的开庭通知，这就意味着régie du logement初步认同判决有可质疑之处。
