Description
Robert B. Jenkins, doing business as Sandhill Developments (Sandhill or lessor), appeals a final judgment entered following the granting of a directed verdict in favor of Eckerd Corporation (Eckerd or lessee), appellee, in an action filed by Sandhill for damages resulting from an alleged breach of a shopping center lease by Eckerd. We conclude that the lower court correctly determined that the parties lease was free from any latent ambiguity that would permit the introduction of extrinsic evidence and that, under the unambiguous provisions of the lease, Eckerd possessed the right to terminate its obligations under the lease when the anchor tenant, Delchamps, Inc., ceased to lease and pay rent for its store in the shopping center. Accordingly, we affirm the judgment entered in favor of Eckerd.
