QUESTION OF FACT WHETHER THERE HAD BEEN A SURRENDER OF THE LEASED PREMISES BY OPERATION OF LAW, THEREBY LIMITING TENANT’S LIABILITY FOR ABANDONMENT OF THE LEASE WITH TEN YEARS REMAINING (FIRST DEPT).

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the tenant raised a trial issue of fact about whether there was a surrender of the leased premises (a parking garage with ground-floor subtenants) by operation of law. The tenant had abandoned the lease with ten years remaining:

…[T]the tenant raised a viable issue of fact as to whether the landlord took dominion and control of the building for its own benefit. The tenant submitted evidence that, after it returned the keys to the landlord and vacated the premises, the landlord took possession of the premises, and not only sent bills directly to the subtenants, but also entered into its own contract with Central Parking to operate the parking garage and to pay the landlord each month all the income received from the garage operations. The tenant submitted further evidence that the landlord placed the property for sale at some juncture. When viewed in the light most favorable to the tenant, as nonmoving party, and given the nonmoving party the benefit of all reasonable inferences that can be drawn from the evidence … , these facts support an inference that, upon the tenant's abandonment, the landlord intended to take dominion and control of the premises for its own benefit. 176 PM, LLC v Heights Stor.
