How courts have described this case
Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.
- holding that breach of a dependent lease covenant justifies rescission of entire agreement
- referring to the “general principle of law ... that upon possession by a lessee of premises to which a covenant to improve or repair has not been fulfilled on the part of a lessor, the defect is generally waived and rent under the lease is due”
- “We are therefore of the opinion that where, as here, you have dependent covenants in a lease—i.e., the payment of rent dependent upon the completion of improvements, and the lessor has breached his covenant, the remedy of rescission is a proper one.”
