What Happened: Less than six months after assuming the responsibilities of the lease from the previous tenant, the assignee notified the landlord that it planned to close its furniture rental store. When it became clear that the assignee wasn’t going to pay the remaining balance due as the lease required in the event of tenant termination, the landlord demanded accelerated rent. The assignee refused, and the landlord took his case to court.
