Whether the trial court properly granted the Vaszils' motion for summary judgment is controlled by whether the lease contains an express or specific agreement regarding the plaintiff's right of subrogation. "[I]n the absence of an express agreement between the parties covering the question, there is no right of subrogation on the part of a landlord's fire insurer against a tenant of the landlord's premises." Id., at 850-51, 792 A.2d 819. "[S]uch an agreement generally may be evidenced by the parties' lease...." Id., at 851 n. 4, 792 A.2d 819. The lease between the Vaszils and the landlord was before the trial court.[3]
