Curtis Properties Corp., a real estate broker, was engaged by a number of tenants at 1290 Avenue of the Americas to find space in other buildings for them and at the same time seek to negotiate the best terms for the renewal of their existing leases with Olympia and York, the landlord of 1290.
The tenants, however, commenced their own lease negotiations with Olympia and York, during which time they used the letters of intent to negotiate better terms.
Justice Herman Cahn of the Supreme Court of New York County agreed with the tenants that OandY had refused to negotiate with the broker; that the brokerage agreement did not prohibit the tenants from directly negotiating with OandY; and that the agreement imposed no obligation for the tenants to pay the broker's commission.
