The applicant tenant sought a declaration that it validly renewed its commercial lease or, alternatively, relief from forfeiture.
The tenant failed to provide written notice of renewal within the time required by the lease.
The court found that while the respondent landlord initially waived strict compliance during negotiations, it validly revoked that waiver by providing reasonable notice and a deadline for compliance.
The tenant failed to make diligent efforts to comply with the new deadline.
Consequently, the court held the tenant did not validly renew the lease and was not entitled to relief from forfeiture.
