Bedford v. Terhune

In Bedford v. Terhune, 30 NY 453, the Court stated "It will be seen that in all cases a mutual agreement between the lessor and the original lessee that the lease terminates, must be shown. It is not necessary that the agreement should be express; it may be inferred from the conduct of the parties" (id. p. 463). The Court based upon the statements of the plaintiff and defendant finds this was a "mutual agreement of the parties to a lease...expressly manifesting any intention to recover the leasehold to the landlord" and; furthermore, the Court finds that it was not necessary that the agreement...be express; it may be inferred from the conduct of the parties" (Bedford v. Terhune, supra, p. 463).
