Let Freedom (of Contract) Ring: Yellowstone Waivers Are Enforceable

Joshua Kopelowitz & Richard Corde

This is the third in a series of articles exploring whether parties to a commercial lease can contractually waive a tenant's right to seek a Yellowstone injunction. In a recent ruling, the Court of Appeals, in 159 MP Corp. v Redbridge Bedford, LLC, left no doubt that a contractual waiver of a right to seek a declaratory judgment and/or a Yellowstone injunction in a commercial lease is enforceable.

Landlord Considerations When Drafting Assignment and Subletting Provisions Image

Landlord Considerations When Drafting Assignment and Subletting Provisions

Mark Morfopoulos

Restricting a tenant's right to transfer the property it is leasing to a third party is a key component to any lease. Many lenders require landlords to obtain lender consent before the transfer is effective. Failure to obtain such consent could lead to a landlord's default under the terms and conditions of the loan documents, so it is imperative for a landlord to review its loan documents each time it receives a request from a tenant to transfer its interest under the lease.

The New York City Landmarks Preservation Law authorizes the Landmarks Preservation Commission (LPC) to designate interior landmarks as well as exterior landmarks.

Permitted Uses: Flexibility and Adaptability

Glenn A. Browne

When negotiating permitted-use clauses under retail leases, landlords attempt to achieve the most comprehensive limitations possible so as to avoid conflicts with other tenants' leases and violations of exclusive-use clauses that are maintained by other tenants in the retail facility. Tenants, however, should be very careful to incorporate a certain degree of flexibility and adaptability into their leases' permitted-use clauses to take into account an evolving landscape.
