39 Kan. 193 | Kan. | 1888
The opinion of the court was delivered by
We see no reason to disturb the order granting the temporary injunction. The building in question was' constructed for use as a first-class hotel, was rented for that' purpose, and it was expressly specified in the lease that the lessee should not sublet the premises or permit anyone else to occupy the same without the consent in writing of the lessor having been first obtained. In direct violation of the terms of the lease, Roberts Brothers sublet a portion of the hotel office, to be used by Godfrey in carrying on a business inconsistent with the hotel business, and which the testimony says detracts from the reputation and popularity of the house. They had no right to sublet or permit the hotel to be used by Godfrey, and he acquired no right by the agreement made with them.
Under the pleadings and the proofs, the temporary injunction was properly allowed, and the order granting it will be affirmed.
