Rascoff Zysblat Organization v. Directors Guild of America
(Sup. Ct. N.Y. Cty. 5/2/01)
Where landlord had the right to terminate tenant’s lease if building is renovated or demolished, etc., and landlord invoked the early termination procedure by giving tenant 180 days notice of termination as was required, court found it to be sufficient that landlord had relied on Construction Manager agreement, based on the theory that hiring a Construction Manager complied with the lease provision allowing for early termination where the evidence clearly demonstrated development of the building and the scope of the project exceeded the requirement in the lease to invoke termination.
