Snyder v. Exum

How courts have described this case

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

• holding that a landlord improperly split claims where all rent became due upon landlord’s first suit, expressly without reviewing enforceability of acceleration provision
• holding that when construing statutory language, a court “do[es] not isolate particular words or phrases but instead, examine[s] a statute in its entirety”
• provision written in mandatory terms must be interpreted as mandatory, for to do otherwise would be “to distort reality and, in effect, make a new contract for the parties. This we will not do.”
• If acceleration clause enforceable, lessor can still collect all the rent from the defaulting lessee even though he finds a new tenant for the balance of the term
