KNUTSEN v. CINQUE

Appellate Division of the Supreme Court of New York, Second Department.
Jun 15, 1906

GAYNOR, J.:

The action did not accrue until the expiration of the lease, for the plaintiff could have restored the stalls up to that time. It follows that the right of action set up in the counterclaim is in the defendant's grantee. He purchased the land subject to the lease, and succeeded to his grantor's rights under the covenants of the lease. The covenant to surrender the premises in as good condition as when received ran with the land ( Demarest v. Willard, 8 Cow. 206; Chaplin on L. T. ยง 338).

The judgment should be affirmed.

HIRSCHBERG, P.J., HOOKER, RICH and MILLER, JJ., concurred.

Judgment of the Municipal Court affirmed, with costs.
