PARK VIEW GARDENS, INC. v. GREENE

Order of the Appellate Term unanimously affirmed, with costs. The tenant became a statutory tenant, and that status made inoperative paragraph twenty-fourth (so-called automatic renewal clause) in the lease, after the period from October 1, 1943, to September 30, 1945. The tenant, therefore, was obligated to pay the amount of rent fixed by the Housing Expediter's order from the date specified therein. ( Stern v. Equitable Trust Co., 238 N.Y. 267.)
