Summary:
This headnote contains no summary.
Landlord and Tenant - Topic 5606
Subleases - Granting of subleases - Consent of landlord - Unreasonable withholding - What constitutes - Safeway leased premises in a shopping centre for use as a food supermarket - After operating on the premises for several years Safeway moved to new premises elsewhere and wished to sublet the premises to IGA, also for use as a food supermarket - The landlord refused to consent to the sublease on the ground that IGA would attract a smaller volume of shoppers than Safeway, which would in turn result in a smaller volume of shoppers for the shopping center - Under the lease the landlord could not unreasonably withhold its consent - The Manitoba County Court held that the volume of shoppers was irrelevant to the consideration of whether the landlord's consent was unreasonably withheld - The court dismissed the landlord's motion under Queen's Bench Rule 197 for an order that there be a hearing of Safeway's application for an order that the consent was unreasonably withheld.
