Lessor's Right to Terminate Lease Following Repeated Rent Payment Delays

Lessor's Right to Terminate Lease Following Repeated Rent Payment Delays: A lessee of commercial property failed to timely pay the rent due on the first of the month, despite having previously been granted several extensions by the lessor to make the payment, which ultimately resulted in the lessor filing an action for contract termination and eviction; the Court of Cassation upheld the lower court's decision granting the termination, reasoning that repeated delays, even when initially tolerated, do not establish a permanent right for the lessee to alter the contractual payment term, and thus the lessor was entitled to enforce the strict terms of the lease agreement following the final default.
