The DRA ruled for landlord. Tenant appealed and lost. Tenant didn't explain why she didn't oppose landlord's claim that she had been restored to possession. In her response to landlord's rent restoration application, she only stated that certain services hadn't been restored. But this wasn't the issue in tenant's complaint.
