The lease ended and the relationship of landlord and tenant ceased when the summary proceedings were instituted, and the tenant removed from the premises; liability of the tenants to pay rent came to an end, there being no survival clause contained in the lease. (Tepper v. Minsker Realty Co., 156 N. Y. Supp. 667; Atterbury v. Bank of Washington Heights, 206 N. Y. Supp. 647; Seidlitz v. Auerbach, 230 N. Y. 167; Hoffman Brewing Co. v. Wuttge, 234 N. Y. 469; Cornwell v. Sanford, 222 N. Y. 248; Michaels v. Fishel, 169 N. Y. 381; Claude v. Shepard, 122 N. Y. 397; Wolf v. Rudinsky, 135 App. Div. 172; Caesar v. Rubinson, 174 N. Y. 492; Feinsot v. Burstein, 138 N. Y. Supp. 185.) The action was not premature, and plaintiff’s assignors were justified in seeking the return of the security after the termination of the lease by the summary proceedings instituted by the landlord. (Richards v. Browning, 214 App. Div. 665; 212 N. Y. Supp. 738; Albert Garage Co., Inc., v. Coan, N. Y. L. J. June 4, 1927; Lenco, Inc., v. Hirschfeld, 247 N. Y. 44; Halpern v. Manhattan Ave. Theatre Corp., 220 N. Y. 655; Blumberg v. Corday, 160 N. Y. Supp. 613; Cohen v. Birns, 170 N. Y. Supp. 560.) Plaintiff never intended to relinquish nor did she release any rights enforceable against Aaron by alleging an additional claim against Mazer. (Rosenfeld v. Aaron, 202 N. Y. Supp. 950.)
