Legislator summary

AI generated

The court ruled that the landlord bears the burden of proving they attempted to collect rent at the tenant's domicile on the due date. The material facts established that the landlord claimed the tenant refused payment without justification, shifting the evidentiary responsibility to the landlord. Consequently, the court held that without proof of the landlord's attempt and the tenant's unjustified refusal, the claim for non-payment cannot succeed.
