The respondent, La Ville Commercial Corporation, owns a commercial building that it leased to the petitioner, Cosmo Entertainment Management, Inc. for 7 years. Cosmo suffered business losses and stopped operations, defaulting on rental payments. La Ville demanded Cosmo vacate the premises and pay outstanding rent. Cosmo claimed it had a security deposit that covered amounts owed and requested more time. When negotiations failed, La Ville filed a complaint for illegal detainer. The court ruled that under the lease terms, La Ville had the right to approve any sublease and Cosmo's failure to pay rent violated the contract, warranting its ejectment.
