Facts: A foot care clinic rented office space and exam rooms in a strip mall. Its lease provided that the owner wouldn’t place a retail business in space “adjoining” the tenant. The owner subsequently leased space in the strip mall to a liquor store. The liquor store and tenant were separated by an unusable 500 square foot hallway. The tenant claimed that the liquor store adjoined its space, and, therefore, the owner had breached the lease. The owner said that because the two spaces were physically separated by the hallway, they weren’t adjoined.
