Although the key money agreement referenced a “lease” between JC Corporation and Tea House, the only document produced at trial evidencing such a lease was a one page agreement, handwritten in Chinese, purportedly between Hsiao-Wen Chen and Dorothea Wu, a friend of Hsiao-Wen Chen. Hsiao-Wen Chen testified that she drafted the agreement, and she translated it into English at a deposition and also testified as to its meaning. The court determined that the document reflected only an “agreement to agree,” whereby Hsiao-Wen Chen and Wu agreed that, if they ever received zoning approval for a restaurant at 1076 East Putnam Avenue and a certificate of occupancy, they would then enter into a lease to open a restaurant.
