Armstrong v. CaliforniaValley Assocs.
Defendant California Valley Associates (CVA) is the landlord of commercial real property, a Del Taco restaurant, leased by plaintiffs Robert Armstrong and Kolleen Armstrong (Armstrong). Armstrongs first amended complaint was for breach of contract and declaratory relief. The issue on appeal involves who is responsible for maintaining and repairing the restaurants kitchen septic system, which serves the leased premises.
After a court trial, the court issued a statement of decision and judgment, finding that CVA, as landlord, was responsible for repairing and replacing the kitchen septic system. Because the lease expressly and unambiguously makes the tenant responsible for the septic system, Court reverse the judgment.
