Head Matter:
Ignatz Schwartz and Another, Appellants, v. Joseph Schultz, Respondent.
Supreme Court, Appellate Term, First Department,
December 16, 1926.
Sydney D. Robins, for the appellants.
Shapiro & Witte [Samuel Witte of counsel], for the respondent.

Opinion:
Per Curiam.
That the tenants undertook to procure the necessary permit from the fire department does not bar a recovery. It is undisputed that such permit could not be obtained, and the plaintiffs having abandoned possession and terminated the lease have a right, there being no counterclaim presented, to recover the moneys deposited with the landlord to secure performance of their covenants. (Raner v. Goldberg, 215 App. Div. 355.)
Judgment reversed, with thirty dollars costs, and judgment directed for plaintiffs for the relief demanded in the summons, with interest and costs.
Present — Bijur, O'Malley and Levy, JJ.
