Bob Pearsall Motors, Inc., Appellant v. Regal Chrysler-Plymouth, Inc., Appellee

Summary

The court held that Regal’s sublease obligation to assume Pearsall’s obligations under the primary lease, excluding rent, included increases in property taxes. The primary lease treated the tax obligation as an amount payable in addition to stated rent, and the language showed no clear intent to make taxes part of the rent. The court therefore reversed the Chancellor’s judgment for Regal.
