Description

QUINN, Associate Judge. This is an appeal from a summary judgment in favor of plaintiff in an action to recover a balance
due under a lease agreement. Appellant (defendant below) entered into a written lease for four rooms in the Century Building in this city for the term
of eight months commencing April 15, 1948, at a total rent of $1,640, payable in monthly instalments of $205. He entered into
possession and paid rent for two months and then moved. A Mr. Gordon, to whom appellant had sublet a room, remained in the
leased premises until the expiration of the lease and paid rent monthly for that room to the appellant. After the expiration
of the lease, lessor brought suit to recover rent remaining due in the amount of $1,230. Defendant lessee filed an answer
alleging constructive eviction and failure to minimize damages. A motion for summary judgment under Municipal Court rule 51
(now rule 56) was filed by appellee, supported by affidavits and appellant's deposition, which motion was granted.
