MidWestOne Bank v. Short's Burger & Shine, LLC, Kevin Perez, and Dan Ouverson

Summary

The court affirmed possession of the commercial premises because Short’s did not timely exercise the lease-renewal option and failed to prove that the written renewal requirement had been modified. The landlord’s termination efforts and forcible-entry-and-detainer litigation, undertaken in good faith and without preventing Short’s from exercising the option, did not constitute repudiation or entitle Short’s to equitable relief.
