Appeal – Landlord – Tenant – Unpaid rent – Evidence – Litigation Procedure - Eviction
This case involved a request for eviction and unpaid rent from a tenant who it was stated had not paid their rent. The tenant tried to argue they had paid but the money had not been accepted by the landlord. However, they had not provided sufficient evidence of this in the appeal and had not properly referenced the legal provisions which had not been followed in the appeal so the appeal was rejected.
Background
A lessor filed a case before the lower court requesting that a lessee be ordered to pay an amount because she had not paid her rent for months and vacate the property.
The court issued a ruling ordering the defendant to pay the plaintiff an amount for the non-paid rent and to vacate the property. The defendant filed an appeal and the appeal court confirmed the appealed ruling.
