Dinnerware Plus Holdings, Inc. v. Silverthorne Factory Stores, LLC
128 P.3d 245 | Colorado Court of Appeals | 2004
Holding Summary
A lease provision requiring pass-through charges 'provided that all other tenants are similarly obligated' creates a condition precedent to the tenant's payment obligation, not merely a landlord promise, and the tenant is relieved of this obligation when the condition is not satisfied.
Provided that language creates condition precedent to tenant's obligation to pay pass-through charges.
