The ruling in Kentucky Fried Chicken (supra) conforms with the principal of contract law that a lessee is entitled, as a matter of contractual right, to a notice from the lessor since he is the only one in privity with the lessee. Thus in 185 E. 85th St. Co. v Gravanis (NYLJ, Jan. 21, 1981, at 6, col 2 [App Term, 1st Dept]), cited in Kentucky Fried Chicken, the court held that, " 'unless the lease provides otherwise a notice must be given by the landlords themselves; a notice given by an attorney will not do * * * The tenant cannot be asked to determine for itself and at its peril the extent of the attorney’s authority’ ” (quoting Granet Constr. Corp. v Longo, 42 Misc 2d 798, 802).
