The building manager of an office building regularly serves as the information go-between for tenants and the landlord. On January 25 the landlord fires the manager, effective immediately, and gives the manager until the end of the month to pack up his belongings. The next day a month to month tenant gives notice to the manager that the tenant will vacate its office space by the end of February. Angry and embarrassed by the firing, the fired manager accepts the notice, says nothing to the tenant about being fired and purposely does not pass the notice on to the landlord, Is the notice effective against the landlord? If so, what could the landlord have done to avoid being bound by a notice the landlord never actually received?
