Is a tenant entitled to an award of attorneys' fees in a commercial lease dispute?
"New York", United States of America
The following excerpt is from APF 286 Mad LLC v. RIS Real Props., Inc., 13 N.Y.S.3d 849 (Table) (N.Y. App. Term 2015):
The award of attorneys' fees to landlord has ample support in the record and is not disturbed. The court appropriately evaluated counsel's testimony and records as to the nature, extent and necessity of the legal services rendered on landlords' behalf in the fiercely-litigated commercial lease dispute (see 542 East 14th Street LLC v. Lee, 66 AD3d 18, 2425 [2009] ).
We have considered tenant's remaining arguments and find them unavailing.
