We affirm the judgment for the defendant tenant, but for reasons different from those of the Superior Court judge. The judge’s finding of constructive eviction was in error, but because we adopt the rule of mutually dependent covenants for commercial leases and conclude that the plaintiff landlord breached his covenant to maintain the roof, the tenant was entitled to terminate the lease and recover relocation costs.
