| (b) The following is a pretend brief of Julian v. Christopher, 320
Md. 1, 575 A.2d 735 (1990)
A lease contained a clause requiring the landlord's consent to
a sublet and not specifying acceptable bases for withholding consent.
The landlord refused consent, demanding a higher rent; the tenants sublet
without permission; and the landlord sued for repossession. The Court
changed the Maryland common law, holding that under such a lease clause,
a landlord's withholding of consent must be reasonable, and remanded the
case for application of the new rule. |
