Monmouth Real Estate Investment Trust v. Manville Foodland, Inc.

How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• rejecting argument that lease provision basing rent on gross receipts showed parties’ intent to limit use to supermarket
• where landlord claims that commercial lease imposes limitation on use of premises, all doubts are resolved in favor of construction that least restricts use
• provision in commercial lease that alowed “operation of a supermarket and drug store and any and al other lawful purposes” permitted any lawful use separate from and in lieu of supermarket rather than any lawful use incidental to supermarket, as claimed by landlord
