Lululemоn rented а cоmmerciаl building frоm The OC Compаny and operated their business in it. The building’s large front window was smashed by vandals six months before the expiration of the lease. Lululemon, who was obligated to pay for repairs in such cases, promptly contracted with First Glass to replace the window for $2,000, due 30 days after satisfactory completion of the work. The OC Company was unaware of the contract between Lululemon and First Glass. First Glass knew that the building was under lease, but he dealt entirely with Lululemon. Sixty days after First Glass’s satisfactory completion of the window replacement, and prior to expiration of Lululemon’s lease, Lululemon, then insolvent, ceased doing business and vacated the building. In so doing, Lululemon forfeited its right to the return of a $2,000 security deposit with The OC Company. The deposit had been required for the express purpose of covering any damage to the leased property. The only such damage that occurred during Lululemon’s occupancy was the smashed window. Upon vacating the building, Lululemon mailed a $1,000 check to First Glass, bearing on its face the following conspicuous notation: “This check is in full and final satisfaction of your $2,000 window replacement bill.” Without noticing this notation, First Glass cashed the check and sued Lululemon for the $1,000 difference.If Lululemon’s only defense is accord and satisfaction, is Lululemon likely to prevail?
