Priestley v. Sharaf's, Inc.

This is a contract action brought against a lessee (Sharaf’s) to recover rents allegedly due under the lease from May, 1965, to October, 1967 (count 1) or, alternatively, the reasonable rental value of the leased premises during the same period (count 2). The trial judge (sitting without jury) ordered judgment for the plaintiffs on each count in the amount of $21,235.
