Lessor Liability for Contractual Indemnity Following Premature Lease Termination Upon Sale

A lessor appealed a decision that awarded damages to a lessee whose commercial lease was terminated prematurely due to the lessor's sale of the property, arguing the sale was not a fault and the lessee was not entitled to indemnity under the lease terms. The court rejected the appeal, reasoning that the contract explicitly provided for compensation to the lessee in the event of forced eviction following a sale, and this contractual stipulation remained binding on the new owner, making the lessor liable for the stipulated indemnity despite the sale not being a fault.
