Fox v. 85th Estates Co.

I add to the court’s memorandum that in my view, even before the amendment of the statute, the sole remedy of a tenant whose landlord unreasonably refuses to consent to an assignment was to be released from the lease. (See Silverman, J., concurring opn, Shapiro v Dwelling Managers, 92 AD2d 52.) [119 Misc 2d 331; 121 Misc 2d 43.]
