The plaintiff leased to the defendant a store for women’s apparel in the business district of the city of Paterson. The term of the agreement was two years, starting May 1, with an option of renewal for a further period of three years. The rent was to be $2,100 for the first year, and $2,400 for the second year payable in equal monthly installments. Before the expiration of the first term, the defendant informed that plaintiff that, due to poor business, they would not be able to pay the increase in rent the next year without going out of business altogether. The plaintiff testified that he agreed to accept the lower payment on account, which the defendant paid for 11 months of the second term before surrendering the premises and leaving the final month’s rent unpaid. The plaintiff brought this action to recover the extra unpaid $25 per month, as well as the $200 owed for the final month.
