Corporate Center Associates v. Total Group Services of Iowa, Inc.

HABHAB, Judge.

In 1986 Corporate Center Associates (CCA) leased office space to Total Group Services of Iowa (Total Group) pursuant to a written lease with a five-year term. Total Group took possession of the premises in October 1986. Total Group then obtained office furniture from Office Outfitters pursuant to a signed “payment plan” agreement. This agreement also included *714a clause which provided the furniture could be purchased at the end of the lease term for $1.00. In the summer of 1987 Total Group defaulted on its lease with CCA, and abandoned the premises leaving the furniture.
