The Applicant, a commercial tenant, sought relief from forfeiture after failing to exercise its lease renewal option within the stipulated timeframe.
The tenant had mis-diarized the lease expiry date despite having signed an Estoppel Certificate with the correct date.
The court dismissed the application, finding that the onus was on the tenant to comply with the lease terms and that the landlord had no duty to correct the tenant's errors or disclose information beyond the contractual obligations.
