Lessor v. Tenant: Breach of Implied Obligation to Maintain Going Concern

A lessor sought to terminate a lease agreement and evict a commercial tenant due to the tenant's failure to operate the leased premises as a business for an extended period, arguing this constituted a breach of the lease's implicit obligation to maintain a going concern and to use the premises for the agreed-upon purpose. The court upheld the termination and eviction, reasoning that the tenant's prolonged cessation of commercial activity, despite the obligation to maintain the business's operation under the lease terms, constituted a material breach justifying the rescission of the agreement, as the tenant's duty went beyond mere occupation to the active exploitation of the commercial space for which the lease was granted.
