Lessor v. Tenant: Breach of Lease Due to Late Rent Payment

A lessor sued the tenant for the immediate termination of the lease and eviction based on the tenant's failure to pay rent due on two separate dates, despite the tenant having paid the rent in question before the lessor filed suit. The court held that the lessor was justified in seeking the termination of the lease and eviction because the tenant's failure to pay rent on the due dates constituted a breach of a fundamental obligation of the lease, and the subsequent payment, even if made before the court's decision, did not negate the initial breach that provided grounds for termination.
