PLAINTIFF LANDLORD WAS NOT ABLE TO SHOW THE FULLY EXECUTED LEASE WAS EVER DELIVERED TO DEFENDANT TENANT; THEREFORE THE LANDLORD WAS NOT ENTITLED TO SUMMARY JUDGMENT BASED UPON THE TERMS OF THE LEASE (FIRST DEPT). ​

The First Department, reversing Supreme Court, determined the plaintiff-landlord was not entitled to summary judgment based on the terms of the second amended lease because the landlord could not show that the defendant-tenant was ever provided with a fully executed lease:

… [A] leasehold estate cannot be conveyed without a legal delivery of the fully executed lease to the lessee … , and plaintiff did not offer sufficient proof to rebut [defendant’s] showing that he never received delivery of the executed second amendment during the lease period. Evidence of defendant’s continued occupancy and payment of rent after expiration of the first amendment to the lease in 2016 is equally consistent with a month-to-month tenancy giving rise to an obligation to pay use and occupancy, and therefore does not, without more, prove delivery of the second amendment. Walber 82 St. Assoc., LP v Fisher, 2023 NY Slip Op 02993, First Dept 6-6-23

Practice Point: A leasehold estate cannot be conveyed without legal delivery of the fully executed lease to the lessee.
