A commercial tenant sought relief from forfeiture after the landlord terminated the lease and changed the locks due to rent arrears exceeding $44,000.
The tenant argued it withheld base rent because it expected a credit for overpaid additional rent and had not received an accounting.
The court held that the lease permitted immediate re-entry for non‑payment and that the tenant was a serial defaulter with significant arrears.
Relief from forfeiture is discretionary and only granted where forfeiture would be inequitable or unjust.
The court found nothing inequitable in allowing the landlord to enforce its contractual rights and dismissed the application.
