In February 1988 Lennon stopped paying rent and brought this diversity action against U.S. Theatre, alleging breach of warranty and contract, negligence, and tor-tious interference with Lennon’s relationship with his subtenants. U.S. Theatre counterclaimed to recover unpaid rent and related charges. In addition, on October 26, 1988, U.S. Theatre wrote to Lennon, invoking its right under § 17 of the lease to terminate the lease for nonpayment of rent and to reenter the premises within five days, and stating its intent to claim damages under § 23 for lost rents for the rest of the term. U.S. Theatre also brought its own action for possession in D.C. Superior Court, and in March 1989, shortly after the Superior Court issued a protective order requiring Lennon to make certain rent payments into court, Lennon turned over the keys to U.S. Theatre’s counsel.
