Commentary on Sections Part 9 - Termination Etc. of Occupation Contracts Chapter 2 - Termination Etc. Without a Possession Claim.(This Chapter Applies to All Occupation Contracts) Section 154 – Repudiatory breach by landlord
361.A contract-holder may end an occupation contract by giving up possession of the property if the landlord has committed a repudiatory breach of the contract. A repudiatory breach is one so significant as to justify termination. For example, if the landlord is required to pay for utility bills under the contract, then a failure to pay such bills which results in termination of the utility could represent a repudiatory breach.
