Lessie Blankenship, v. Century Health Services, Inc.
01A01-9504-00137
Authoring Judge: Senior Judge Hewitt P. Tomlin
Trial Court Judge: Judge Lee Russell

Lessie Blankenship ("plaintiff") filed suit in the Circuit Court of Bedford County against Century Health Services, Inc. ("Century" or "defendant"), seeking damages for breach of a commercial lease. Following a bench trial, the court awarded plaintiff damages in the amount of $44,943.80 for rent due under the lease, costs incurred by plaintiff in seeking to relet the premises, and attorney fees in the amount of 15% of the amount of the judgment. On appeal, Century presents five issues for review: Whether the trial court erred (1) in finding that Century had assumed the lease between plaintiff and South Central Home Health, Inc. (?South Central”), the original lessee; (2) in concluding that Century had not properly terminated the lease; (3) in finding that plaintiff had properly mitigated her damages; (4) in awarding plaintiff damages for future rent under the lease; and (5) in awarding plaintiff attorney fees in the amount of 15% of plaintiff's judgment. For the reasons hereinafter stated, we affirm in part, reverse in part and remand.
