The tenant applied for damages and relief from forfeiture after the landlord locked it out for unpaid rent.
The landlord brought a cross-application seeking to terminate the lease for the tenant's alleged failure to maintain the premises.
The court found that the landlord acted in bad faith by locking out the tenant after refusing to accept rent for several months, which caused the arrears.
The court granted the tenant's application, awarding damages for loss of business, and dismissed the landlord's application, finding no persistent or substantial breaches of the lease.
