Damages were awarded covering the period prior to March 1, 1984, plus 18 percent interest pursuant to the terms of the lease. Provident contends that as a matter of law the jury’s award of damages is inadequate and inconsistent with the jury’s finding that Provident acted reasonably in re-letting the premises. Under Minnesota case law, even when a lease has been terminated the landlord is entitled to an amount equal to the “damages resulting from the breach with the attendant obligation upon the [landlord] to use reasonable efforts to mitigate such damage subsequent to the breach.” Gruman v. Investors Diversified Services, Inc., 247 Minn. 502, 508, 78 N.W.2d 377, 381 (1956) (citing Newberg v. Conley, 190 Minn. 459, 252 N.W. 221 (1934).
