BROKER WHICH NEGOTIATED A 2001 LEASE NOT ENTITLED TO COMMISSION ON THE 2011 LEASE BETWEEN THE SAME PARTIES, 2011 LEASE WAS DEEMED A NEW LEASE, NOT A RENEWAL OF THE 2001 LEASE 4TH DEPT.

The Fourth Department determined defendant landlord’s motion for summary judgment in the action by a real estate broker seeking a commission based upon a lease should have been granted. The broker had negotiated the original lease in 2001 and was paid a commission. The question was whether the second lease in 2011 was a renewal of the original lease or a new lease, for which no commission was due. The Fourth Department held the 2011 lease was a new lease:

… [W]e agree with defendants that they met their burden on their motion by establishing that the 2011 lease was a new lease, rather than a renewal of the 2001 lease. In support of their motion, defendants submitted evidence establishing that, under the 2011 lease, HealthNow was leasing only part of the subject building, rather than the whole building as called for under the 2001 lease. In addition, the 2011 lease called for First Columbia [landlord] to make structural changes to the building to accommodate HealthNow’s [tenant’s] changing needs, and to install a backup generator at a cost in excess of $300,000. Furthermore, the rent was higher in the 2011 lease, it was not calculated in accordance with the terms for a renewal as provided in the 2001 lease, and the 2011 lease was for a term of seven years, whereas the 2001 lease called for a renewal term of five years. Finally, defendants established that the 2011 lease was not the result of any brokerage services performed by plaintiff. Baumann Realtors, Inc. v First Columbia Century-30, LLC, 2017 NY Slip Op 05546, 4th Dept 7-7-17
