Rowe v. Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co

In Rowe v. Great Atl. & Pac. Tea Co. (46 NY2d 62 [1978]) the Court of Appeals held that where the lease agreement involved a bargained-for exchange between the parties, such agreement would be enforced, even if it appeared unwise. The Rowe Court refused to enforce an implied covenant limiting the tenant's right to assign the lease where the negotiated lease was silent as to such issue.
