加拿大法院规则规定,房东可在租户中断商业租约时要求支付未付租金。 Canadian court rules landlords can claim unpaid rent when tenants break commercial leases.
不列颠哥伦比亚省上诉法院裁定,房东在租户中断商业租赁、将责任转嫁给租户以证明房东未能减轻损失时有权获得未付租金。 The British Columbia Court of Appeal ruled that landlords are entitled to unpaid rent when tenants break a commercial lease, shifting the burden to tenants to prove landlords failed to mitigate losses. 这推翻了下级法院的决定,即由于在寻找新房客方面行动迟缓,降低了房东的损害赔偿要求。 This overturns a lower court's decision that had reduced a landlord's claim for damages due to slow action in finding a new tenant. 高等法院澄清说,房东有租赁合同权,租户必须证明未能减轻损失。 The higher court clarified that landlords have a contractual right to rent and tenants must demonstrate any failure to mitigate.
