The contractual bounds in a landlord tenant relationship.
The landlord-tenant relationship draws its definition upon the existence of a leasehold estate. A leasehold interest is usually the right to possession by the tenant. Among the most prominent of real property leases, is the commercial rental agreement between landlord and tenant. A commercial lease agreement can be for a fixed period denoted by the period of the lease. Traditionally since the 18th century, it is the right of the landlord to put the tenant into possession in England and Wales. Moreover, it was the duty of the tenant to pay rent as per the lease independent of the landlord meeting their duties and obligations under the lease agreement for payment of lease was taken as

London & Canadian Loan & Agency Co. further, Section 3(2) of the RDA provides that a landlord can seize for rent opposing the person of the tenant responsible for the rent. Therefore the definition of tenant in section 3(1) of the RDA is construed to even include a subtenant, who during the period of the lease acquires the consent of the tenant to be actual occupation of the leased premises whether or not he has become the occupant of the landlord’s premise. This was held in the case of Smart Woman Ltd. v. Saleway Estates Ltd. (1987) (Matauschek 2010).
In enforcing the right to distress, the landlord or his bailiff is restricted from breaking into the leased premises. Where the landlord goes against this restriction, the distraint becomes illegal as the court held in Beaver Steel Inc. v. Skylark Ventures Ltd. (1983). As such the court established in Tutton v. Darke (1860) that access must be via the recognised ordinary means of entry to the leased premises, that is through authorized means of access such as an unlocked door (Mackenzie & Phillips 2014).
The general rule is that the right to distress can only be enforced against goods originating from the leased premises. However, the court has held in Gastown Investment 21 Ltd. v. Purple Onion Cabaret Inc., [2005] that a landlord cannot enforce this right against those goods that have a legal right only such as a liquor license. Moreover, this right is also not available for fixtures that have been annexed to
The case I found on CanLII is relevant to my case as it relates to non-payment of rent. This case was heard at the Landlord and Tenant board in Toronto, located at 47 Sheppard Avenue East. This case was in regards to rent arrears and landlord requested that the tenancy was to be terminated. According to the facts of the case, C.R.S referred to as the landlord, applied for an order to terminate the tenancy also to evict S.G known as the tenant. C.R.S had served S.G the N4, a notice to terminate the tenancy based on non-payment of rent on July 22, 2015. S.G had not paid rent from June 1 to November 30 accounting for a total of six months in arrears. The issue included S.G consistently paid rent late and seemed to have had a balance owing to
• Whether the transfer of chattels and other personal property attached to the land were not fixtures under the general law definition.

Catherine has changed throughout the book, Catherine Called Birdy because she changed her perspective and self centered personality after having interactions and a change in perspective. For example, the text states, “Thomas says the king, still on his way to London with the queen does not weep but rides with a face of stone, so deeply does he grieve. I wonder if mother of the two boy bandits hanged at Wooton grieves for them. I find I prefer fairs and feasts to hangings.” (Cushman 50) This quote states how Catherine has undergone major changes in the book Catherine Called Birdy she started off in the story being self-centered, spoiled, and bratty. Cathrine shows her true feelings of empathy in this quote because she feels for the mother
In this case restrictions are only placed on rentals shorter than 30 days and requires the owner to reside in the house. Even with the limitations placed on Ms. Wilde the property still has value, such as selling the property or renting it longer than 30 days at a time. Justice Blackmun in dissenting in the Lucas case, states the “petitioner still can enjoy other attributes of ownership, such as the right to exclude others” (Lucas 1237). Because the property still has economic productivity, albeit with some regulation the ordinance does not invoke a taking.

They are supposed to protect tenants against any interference with their usual chores within the property. Neither the landlord nor his agents should disturb the tenant’s possession and enjoyment of the property (McQueen, 2013). In the case of Goodprice Pty Ltd and the restaurant leasing, the landlord has committed to protecting the restaurant tenant against competition that would negatively impact his business. The owner planned to ensure the quiet enjoyment for the tenant by not leasing, renting or occupying any part of the Shopping Center for the consumption of food or drinks. He, in other words, had committed to creating monopoly for the restaurant tenant as a way of ensuring quiet enjoyment of the property within the Shopping
The Washington Commercial Lease Agreement Form needs to be filled out by a business that wants to rent a commercial property in the state of Washington from a property owner. The commercial lease is used for the benefit of both the tenant and landlord. Having the terms and conditions agreed upon in writing ensures no complications in the future regarding the agreement and protects both parties. You will need to attach the floor plans for the commercial property in Exhibit A and attach the legal description of the land in Exhibit B. For example: If there is a strip mall with 5 percent up stores, One of the stores will be highlighted and specified in a map of the entire building and property. This document is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, specifically title 62A.2A RCW, which is the Uniform Commercial Code Article on Leases.

Whoever said, "War was hell," must have read Ernest Hemingway 's A Farewell to Arms. It is a decade defining controversial piece of American Literature. It was not only controversial because Hemingway was a depressed drunkard, but it was controversial because it doesn 't glorify war; it shows the brunt reality of the Great War. He provides the evidence of his depression through his writings by allowing his characters to be placed in horrid situations. He also shows his alcoholism this way, by allowing his characters to be alcoholics. For example, in A Farewell to Arms, Frederic Henry used alcohol to get over his pain, which would eventually lead to Henry 's jaundice, a lack of liver function, which is a symptom of cirrhosis of the liver,
Since this is happening, they caused a breach of duty of care to their customers and on their leased contract. They caused a breach of duty of care to their customers because if the courts considered what a reasonable person would have done, they would have notified the shopping center that burglaries have been happening and a security guard would have ended all theft. This violation makes the store liable for the customer’s injuries from theft. The grocery store breached the lease contract also, because it is stated that they are allowed to only hold sidewalk sales, but is used for the employees to carry bags to the customer’s
How do you distinguish between a lease and a licence and why might it be important to do so? Is there evidence to show that the distinction is becoming less important?
A lease involves a grant of the right of exclusive possession for a certain period of time as per Radaich v Smith where it was held that whether the transaction creates a lease or licence depends on the intention of the parties regarding what relationship the lessee shall have to the land. It does not matter whether the terms ‘licensee’ or ‘tenant’ are used, as it is a matter of substance rather than form. In the present case, there is an agreement that states the duration of the tenancy as being one year and the rent as $1000 per month. Thus certainty of duration is clearly stated. It is therefore a matter of whether the right of exclusive possession has been granted. Here the tenant is entitled to uninterrupted possession for the full
The manner in which R-Mart employees detained the Plaintiff was reasonable because R- Mart employee, Nottingham, only guided the Plaintiff to the back room after she refused to accompany him voluntarily, acting within his given duties. Likewise, R-Mart employee, Carl Hanratty reviewed the security recordings and the Plaintiff was free to leave immediately thereafter. The employee’s actions, as described in the Plaintiff’s Complaint, bar the Plaintiff from recovery under the Georgia Shopkeeper’s Defense statute.
In this Agreement, the terms “I”, “me”, “you”, “your”, “mine” and “my” refer to you, the undersigned Tenant. This
