ALTHOUGH PLAINTIFF COMMERCIAL TENANT DID NOT PROVE IT GAVE TIMELY NOTICE OF ITS INTENT TO RENEW THE LEASE, THE TENANT WAS ENTITLED TO RELIEF IN EQUITY (SECOND DEPT).

The Second Department determined that, although plaintiff commercial tenant did not prove it provided timely notice of its option to renew the lease, the tenant was entitled to relief in equity:

Although the general rule is that a tenant that fails to exercise an option to renew within the time and in the manner provided in the lease is without remedy at law … , equity will intervene to relieve a commercial tenant’s failure to exercise an option to renew within the time and in the manner provided in the lease “where (1) such failure was the result of inadvertence,’ negligence’ or honest mistake’; (2) the nonrenewal would result in a forfeiture’ by the tenant; and (3) the landlord would not be prejudiced by the tenant’s failure to send, or its delay in sending, the renewal notice” … . Laundry Mgt. – N. 3rd St., Inc. v BFN Realty Assoc., LLC, 2020 NY Slip Op 00265, Second Dept 1-17-20
