Higher Rent paid by Subsequent Tenant should be used to Offset Damages by Original Tenant
California Court held: If a tenant breaches lease, but landlord is able to bring in replacement tenants paying higher rent, the incremental rent paid by replacement tenants should be applied to offset damages against original tenant. Where tenant breached lease, but incremental rent by subsequent tenants fully offset all damages, defendant was the prevailing party and entitled to recover its attorney's fees.
