Landlord Lease Termination: Grounds Must Exist at Notice Date

A landlord terminated a commercial lease agreement, initially citing criminal acts committed against them, and later attempted to introduce new allegations arising after the notice date to support the extraordinary termination. The court upheld the lower courts' rulings invalidating the termination, reasoning that the grounds for an extraordinary termination must exist objectively at the time the notice is given, and that introducing entirely new facts that arose subsequently constitutes an impermissible addition of grounds rather than a permissible clarification of the original reasons.
