A LEASE GUARANTY WHICH ALLOWS AMENDMENTS TO THE LEASE WITHOUT NOTICE TO THE GUARANTORS IS VALID AND ENFORCEABLE (SECOND DEPT).
The Second Department determined the guarantors of a lease, Cipolla and Mucci, were liable under the guaranty, even though amendments to the lease could be made without notice to the guarantors:
The plaintiff … submitted a guaranty signed by … Cipolla and Mucci … which provided that the undersigned would become guarantors of the prompt and faithful payment and performance of Corbel under the lease, and that no modifications or amendments to the lease would relieve the guarantors’ obligations … . …
The guaranty provided … that notice to or consent by the guarantors was not required for amendments respecting the lease. … “A guarantor is not relieved of his [or her] obligations where, as here, the written guarant[y] allows for changes in the terms of the guarant[y] and expressly waives notice to the guarantor of these changes” … . 2402 E. 69th St., LLC v Corbel Installations, Inc., 2020 NY Slip Op 02996, Second Dept 5-27-20
