Jamaica Builders Supply Corp. v. Buttleman

205 N.Y.S.2d 303 (1960)

Facts

D failed to pay August rent, and P gave D written notice that the lease would be terminated on August 16th. The contract between the parties hinted at a conditioned limitation which would allow P to terminate the lease without reentry onto the premises if the landlord deemed the tenant to be undesirable. The lease also contained a provision that attorney fees would be due and payable for failure to pay rent and added to the next month’s rent due.
