New York Court of Appeals

In the Matter of the Application of Charles G. Miller, Landlord, Respondent v. Emanuel Levi, Tenant, Appellant

May 6, 187144 N.Y. 489

Summary

The Court of Appeals affirmed the judgment granting the landlord a warrant of possession, holding that the lease clause allowing termination upon sale with sixty‑day notice creates a conditional limitation that expires automatically, and that the tenant's holding over after that expiration authorizes summary removal proceedings.
