What is the appropriate compensation for a landlord who is unable to enforce a lease agreement?
Ontario, Canada
The following excerpt is from Sofos v. 1088084 Ontario Inc., 2009 CanLII 2925 (ON SC):
In such a situation, the occupier becomes a monthly tenant. With continued occupation of the premises, the principles of equity apply for the payment of reasonable compensation. Where the lease is no longer enforceable, the appropriate compensation as to what is reasonable is to be determined by the court based on the facts. (see Samad v. Samad, supra, paras. 65 and 65)
