SANDEL v. DOUGLAS

Synopsis

Landlord commenced a holdover proceeding against the tenant alleging breach of lease for non-payment of rent and other lease violations. The tenant countered, asserting that the landlord had waived the breaches by accepting rent without objection, a key legal principle known as waiver of lease violations. The court sided with the tenant, emphasizing the landlord's acceptance of rent as a waiver, leading to a judgment for the tenant.
