• noting that a “modern business lease is predominantly an exchange of promises and only incidentally a sale of a part of the lessor’s interest in land” and concluding that “[t]here is no reason why the principle of mitigation of damages should not be applied to it”
• the landlord’s reletting of the leased premises after tenant’s abandonment “does not of itself necessarily effect a termination of the lease”
• “In modern times, the courts increasingly recognize that a lease is often more appropriately treated as a contract rather than a conveyance of real estate.”
