Lessor v. Assignee: Enforceability of Lease Covenants Against Successor Tenants

An individual purchased a leasehold right over certain property, which included a covenant imposing an obligation on the lessee to carry out specific works, and after the lessee assigned the lease, the original lessor sued the assignee to compel performance of these obligations, arguing that the covenant ran with the land. The court ruled in favor of the original lessor, holding that the obligations stipulated in the original lease agreement, particularly those concerning property maintenance or improvement, are binding upon successive assignees of the leasehold, as these obligations are considered part of the tenancy agreement that transfers with the lease itself.
