Landlord failed to prove insurance premiums charged to tenants matched commercial lease requirements; appeal partially allowed.
The appellants (tenants) appealed a trial judgment regarding a commercial lease dispute with the respondent (landlord).
The Court of Appeal upheld the trial judge's finding that a 1992 agreement was a renewal of a 1987 lease, triggering the tenants' obligation to pay property taxes and insurance premiums.
However, the Court found the trial judge erred in placing the burden of proof on the tenants to show the insurance premiums were improperly charged.
Because the landlord failed to prove the insurance coverage obtained matched the lease requirements, the Court deducted $17,116.88 from the amount owed by the tenants.
