If either party or his/her representative fails to appear at a scheduled hearing, the hearing officer or panel may decide that the non-appearing party has waived his/her right to a hearing and shall notify the parties of the decision. The hearing may be continued to a later date, but no more than five (5) days, for a good cause.

If the resident does not appear, he can, within five (5) days request that the hearing be re-opened and any decision already made by the hearing officer or panel be stayed. Such request shall be granted if the resident makes a showing of good cause for his non-appearance.
