Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 20 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“It seems to be universally held by the courts that the rights of subtenant will not be destroyed or impaired by a surrender of the main lease. It would be unconscionable where the express terms of a sublease have not been violated to allow the landlord and lessee to terminate the original lease by their mutual consent over the protest of the subtenant.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“[a] subletting creates a relationship of landlord and tenant between the tenant... and subtenant..., but there is no privity of contract between the landlord ... and the subtenant . . ., and anything which defeats the tenants' estate will defeat the subtenant's estate.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage“A tenancy from month to month is not terminated by the death of the tenant but his interest therein passes to his executor or administrator.”
