flag Canadian court rules landlords can claim unpaid rent when tenants break commercial leases.

flag 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. flag 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. flag The higher court clarified that landlords have a contractual right to rent and tenants must demonstrate any failure to mitigate.
