The Applicant landlord sought to terminate a commercial lease and obtain a Writ of Possession, arguing the Respondent tenant failed to timely exercise its renewal option and breached lease terms.
The Respondent cross-applied for a declaration of valid renewal or relief from forfeiture.
The court found the tenant's renewal notice was submitted out of time, rendering it null and void, and dismissed the tenant's request for equitable relief from forfeiture, emphasizing strict compliance with renewal provisions in commercial leases.
