Can a ground lease be terminated early by the lessor if the lessee violates a non-monetary covenant?
Contracts
Ground Lease
New York
I am currently in a ground lease agreement where I am the lessee, and I recently received a notice from the lessor stating that they intend to terminate the lease due to a violation of a non-monetary covenant. The specific covenant in question pertains to the maintenance and upkeep of the property. I have been diligently maintaining the property, but there may have been some minor lapses in the past. I would like to know if the lessor has the legal right to terminate the ground lease early based on a non-monetary covenant violation, and what options I have to defend against this termination.

Hello: The success of a claim of breach of the agreement depends on whether the alleged violation of the specific non-monetary covenant is material and whether there is a right to cure it. If it is a minor or curable breach, and the lessee can cure it, then the lessee may have defenses to an alleged breach claim.

Contracts Counsel was incredibly helpful and easy to use. I submitted a project for a lawyer's help within a day I had received over 6 proposals from qualified lawyers. I submitted a bid that works best for my business and we went forward with the project.

I never knew how difficult it was to obtain representation or a lawyer, and ContractsCounsel was EXACTLY the type of service I was hoping for when I was in a pinch. Working with their service was efficient, effective and made me feel in control. Thank you so much and should I ever need attorney services down the road, I'll certainly be a repeat customer.

I got 5 bids within 24h of posting my project. I choose the person who provided the most detailed and relevant intro letter, highlighting their experience relevant to my project. I am very satisfied with the outcome and quality of the two agreements that were produced, they actually far exceed my expectations.
