re-let the premises for a period beginning no earlier than May 16. On the other hand, landlord had notified subtenant as early as April 7, 2000 that it had entered into a lease for the premises with a new tenant, LeapSource, Inc., and in any event landlord was aware by the end of March that subtenant was intending to move by mid-May at the latest and hopefully earlier. Landlord’s very premise on this appeal, as represented at oral argument, is “quasi-contract,” not an effort to enforce the underlying lease. All things considered, therefore, landlord equitably is entitled to rent — triple rent — for the period ending May 15, 2000, not later.
