[RPPTL LandTen] Commercial Lease Extension

[Neil B. Shoter]

Scott, you are in luck today, although my file on these cases is more than 15 years old, take a look at these cases as a start (yes, the courts have forgiven Tenant’s late sending on renewal options under certain  situations where equity was found to relieve the tenant from its tardiness):

Investment Builders of Florida Inc. v. S.U.S. Food Market Investments 753 So. 2d (Fla 4th DCa 2000)
Friendship Park Property Corp. v. Shaw 505 So. 2d 456 (Fla 1st DCA 1987)

All:

I know I had seen (a while ago) some case law regarding a commercial tenant that exercised its extension option after the deadline, but the lease had no “time is of the essence” language.  If I recall, the tenant was allowed to exercise the option late.

But, to be honest, I may be mixing this up with Massachusetts law.  So if any of you know what I am talking about, any assistance/direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
