McLACHLAN, J.
The plaintiff, the Middlesex Mutual Assurance Company, appeals from the summary judgment rendered by the trial court in favor of the defendants Brian Vaszil and Robert Vaszil.1 The plaintiff *484brought this action in subrogation of its insured’s right to compensation from the defendants. The court found that the defendants’ lease created no right of subrogation and, thus, no obligation to the landlord’s insurance company for fire loss Brian Vaszil allegedly caused to the landlord’s apartment building. On appeal, the plaintiff claims that the court improperly rendered summary judgment because the written lease terms demonstrate the defendants’ expectations that the tenant would be liable to the landlord for damage caused to the premises, thereby making subrogation appropriate. We agree and reverse the judgment of the trial court.
