In Bank of Manhattan Trust Co. v. 571 Ave Corp. (263 NY 57 [1933]), the Court of Appeals articulated the principle of law that agreements entered into by a mortgagor with respect to the mortgaged premises are not conclusive upon the mortgagee, or a receiver, where such agreement contravenes an express covenant or the necessary implication of a prior recorded mortgage. The Court of Appeals further held that it is not necessary to find fraud or collusion "... and that it is simply beyond the powers of the parties to agree to do anything expressly forbidden by the mortgage, which impairs the lien of the mortgage upon the rents." (Id. at 63).
