6. Brokers and Factors 6; Eminent Domain 5 — condemnation of rental property — unaccrued rents — realtor's commissions Where, as compensation for the procurement of a 50-year lease of hotel property, a realtor was to receive a commission each month as long as the lease continued and rents were collected from the tenant, the realtor cannot base a claim for commissions on an award to the owner for condemnation of the property by a municipal redevelopment commission, since the award was not a payment of unaccrued rentals but was the fair market value of the hotel property in cash.
