LEASE PROVISION ALLOWING THE COLLECTION OF RENT AFTER EVICTION BY SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS VALID AND ENFORCEABLE.

The Second Department determined the clause in the lease which allowed the landlord to collect rent after eviction by summary proceedings was valid and enforceable:

“Although an eviction terminates the landlord-tenant relationship, the parties to a lease are not foreclosed from contracting as they please” … . “Where a lease provides that a landlord is under no duty to mitigate damages after its reentry by virtue of its successful prosecution of a summary proceeding, and that the tenant remains liable for damages, [the tenant] remain[s] liable for all monetary obligations arising under the lease'” … . Here, the lease did not obligate the plaintiff to mitigate damages after a dispossession by summary proceeding and specifically provided that [tenant] would remain liable for rent after eviction. In addition, the lease clearly stated that if [tenant] breached the lease, the plaintiff was not precluded from any other remedy in law or equity. Consequently, the lease did not limit the plaintiff to recovery of only pretermination rent in the event that it commenced a summary eviction proceeding to regain possession of the premises … . L’Aquila Realty, LLC v Jalyng Food Corp., 2017 NY Slip Op 02027, 2nd Dept 3-22-17
