Summary

The Florida Supreme Court interpreted a long‑term hotel lease, holding that the lessee must compute rent on the total gross receipts from all hotel operations, that certain service charges and commissions are includable while discounts and bad debts are not, that the lease permits subletting only minor concession facilities, that the audit provision is satisfied by a lessee‑employed CPA with owner access, and that the decree’s mandatory accounting provision exceeded the declaratory relief sought and must be reversed.
