Margolis v. City National Bank of Florida
Florida District Courts of Appeal · Decided September 10, 1986 · Letts, Stone, Walden
493 So. 2d 1089; 11 Fla. L. Weekly 1958; 1986 Fla. App. LEXIS 9603 (Southern Reporter, Second Series)

Margolis v. City National Bank of Florida

Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

Appellant-landlord appeals from an order, in a non-jury trial, dismissing the case with prejudice and granting a final judgment in favor of appellee-tenant.

The facts aré not in dispute. The trial court correctly held that the only reasonable conclusion to be drawn from the evidence, taking all inferences in favor of the appellant, is that the landlord accepted surrender of the premises and occupied them for his own exclusive use and purposes. The extensive evidence in support of the order further satisfies the requirements of Kanter v. Safran, 68 So.2d 553 (Fla. 1953) and Williams v. Aeroland Oil Co., 20 So.2d 346 (Fla. 1944).

AFFIRMED.

LETTS, WALDEN and STONE, JJ., concur.
