Recent Case: Unjust Enrichment against Landlord
14th & Heinberg v. Terhaar and Cronley , 35 Fla. L. Weekly D2001b (September 7, 2010): Tenant’s contractor, while prohibited from obtaining a construction lien against the landlord’s property interest due to terms of lease, which did not require tenant to make improvements that “did not constitute the pith of the lease,” was allowed to obtain a judgment against the landlord on the basis of “unjust enrichment” as measured by the unpaid costs of the improvements (but not for the “enhanced value” of the subsequent rental to another tenant of increased rental amount).
