Tenancy Termination

VMAT (Oakville) Inc. o/a Suvai Classic Indian Restaurant v. Trafalgar Terrace Enterprise Inc. 2020 Ont SCJ

Landlord terminated a tenancy based on a notice setting out the reasons of default that the judge decided were never proven and, in effect, were just a ruse to get rid of the tenant. The judge ordered the return of deposit and tenant’s last month’s rent plus additional damages of $205,000 for loss of profit over the remainder of the term.
