Failure to Comply With Lease Option Can Be Forgiven if Certain Criteria Met 

The Second Department explained that the failure to strictly comply with the terms of a lease option (here involving notice to the landlord of the exercise of an option to terminate the lease) can be forgiven if certain criteria are met:

An optionee must exercise the option in accordance with its terms, within the time and in the manner specified in the option …. The defendant failed to strictly comply with the language in the option in purporting to exercise it. However, equity will intervene to relieve an optionee of the consequences of a failure to exercise an option in accordance with its terms where (1) the optionee’s failure to properly exercise the option resulted from an honest mistake or inadvertence, (2) refusal to recognize the exercise of the option would result in a substantial forfeiture by the optionee, and (3) the optionor would not suffer prejudice as a result … .  Pacific Dean Realty, LLC v Specific St, LLC, 2013 NY Slip Op 02385, 2011-10324, Index No 21508/10, 2nd Dept 4-10-13
