Syllabus

Per Osowik, J., Payment of two months' rent was consideration for Buyout Option, pursuant to which residential landlord allowed early termination of lease; it was not liquidated damages provision nor an unenforceable penalty. While landlord would have owed duty to mitigate damages owed by tenant for breach of lease agreement, by entering into Buyout Option, tenant was not entitled to offset for rent collected from new tenant.
