Worcester-Tatnuck Square CVS, Inc. v. Kaplan

How courts have described this case

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

• stating that a lease term that prevents a landlord from unreasonably withholding consent to a sublease prescribes that the landlord “shall act in accordance with usual standards of reasonableness,” which is a question for the factfinder (internal quotation marks omitted)
• landlord reasonably withheld consent to sublease where a percentage rent agreement was in place, even though the agreement could only be initiated if the tenant's sales exceeded a designated volume level, and such level had never been achieved
• “The lease provided that CVS had the right to sublet all or part of the premises so long as Kaplan consented in writing. Kaplan, however, could not unreasonably withhold his consent. Compare 21 Merchants Row Corp. v. Merchants Row, Inc., 412 Mass. 204 (1992)”
