Landlord wins lawsuit over non-payment of rent by YOUth OK Pty Ltd and principal, Mr. David Hawkins, for a lease of a Newport property in Sydney's beachside suburb. YOUth OK Pty Ltd occupied the property without payment from 16 July 2020 until 26 February 2022, after which a court ruled that the defendants should pay unpaid rent and mesne profits for the period up to 26 February 2022, as well as interest. Ms. Annie Lee, the landlord, claims that she terminated the lease on 16 July 2020 on the grounds of non-payment of rent and non-payment of a security deposit required by the lease. The issue of whether the plaintiff took reasonable steps in mitigation of loss during the period from 21 May 2022 to 30 September 2022 was also analyzed. The defendants’ submissions were not persuasive, and the court found in favor of the plaintiff.
