The trial court had found the addendum void because it provided for perpetual renewal options and violated the rule against restraints on alienation. The appellate court reversed and remanded, holding that perpetual lease renewals are enforceable in Missouri when clearly expressed, and that the rule against restraints on alienation does not apply to enforceable perpetual leases.","primaryTopic":"property-real-estate","topicSlugs":["property-real-estate","contracts","civil-procedure","standard-of-review"],"outcomeNorm":"mixed","officialSourceUrl":"https://www.courts.mo.gov/file.jsp?id=214206","detailUrl":"https://ott.law/missouri-courts/opinions/west-39th-street-llc-v-lina-llc-d86445","relatedPracticeAreas":[{"slug":"real-estate","label":"Real Estate","href":"/practice-areas/real-estate","score":38,"source":"tag","evidence":["tag: real-estate","topic: property-real-estate","text: tenant","text: lease"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/real-estate"},{"slug":"corporate","label":"Corporate Law","href":"/practice-areas/corporate","score":18,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: contracts","text: llc"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/corporate"},{"slug":"litigation","label":"Civil Litigation","href":"/practice-areas/litigation","score":12,"source":"topic","evidence":["topic: civil-procedure"],"url":"https://ott.law/practice-areas/litigation"}],"role":"respondent"}]}
