140 Misc. 75

Caverly Holding Corp. v. Sollish

Appellate Terms of the Supreme Court of New York · decided 1930-03-15

Relies on 300 West End Avenue Corp. v. Warner · Crowley v. Lewis

Decided 1930-03-15

Per Curiam.

¶1Judgment unanimously reversed, upon the law, and new trial granted, with thirty dollars costs to appellant to abide the event.

¶2The lease in question was for a term exceeding one year. It was in writing, but not subscribed by the lessor or his agent. It is, therefore, not enforcible. (Real Prop. Law, § 242; 300 West End Ave. Corp. v. Warner, 250 N. Y. 221.) Furthermore, the lease was under seal. (See Crowley v. Lewis, 239 N. Y. 264, 265.) Defendant, however, may be hable for some rent.

¶3All concur; present, Cropsey, MacCrate and Lewis, JJ.
