If only the landlord is named as a respondent, but the tenant proves that a superintendent or agent of the landlord was responsible for the action, the LTB can order remedies against the landlord but cannot make orders against the superintendent or agent. The LTB cannot make any orders against a person who is not named as a respondent and has no opportunity to respond to it.
