British Columbia, Canada
The following excerpt is from Lehndorff Can. Pension Properties Ltd. v. Davis Mgmt. Ltd., 1987 CanLII 2793 (BC SC):
Determining the true ground upon which the landlord acted is the subjective test of reasonableness. It is a question of what the landlord’s state of mind was when he refused the consent: see Lovelock v. Margo at p. 15; and Bromley Park at pp. 1031 and 1034.
