On October 6,2006, a fire at 1076 East Putnam Avenue essentially destroyed the building. On December 12, 2006, pursuant to language in the lease giving the plaintiff the option of terminating the lease if JC Corporation did not substantially restore the premises within 120 days of a fire or other loss, the plaintiff sent JC Corporation a valid notice of termination of the lease.2 Despite this notice, on December 27, 2006, the defendants sent the plaintiff a letter stating that they were not returning the key money payment and that JC Corporation was making a deduction of $3175 from the security deposit, allegedly for one-half of the costs associated with landscaping work completed on the property in connection with the lease. On January 5, 2007, Hsiao-Wen Chen wrote out a check from the Tea House bank account in the amount of $110,000, made payable to herself, and wrote on it, “return of capital.” Hsiao-Wen Chen admitted that this represented the key money payment.
