: Leila Company began an operating lease arrangement with Debco Industries, which was slated to begin on January 1, at monthly lease payments of $10,000. However, Debcos negligence prevented Leila from moving in on timesince it failed to clean up the place adequately enough to earn a Certificate of Occupancy from the township. Thus, on January 1, Leila spent $5,000 for leasehold improvements, which enabled her to obtain the needed Certificate of Occupancy on April 1. In any event, Leila paid Debco all the required $30,000 lease payments and has decided not to pursue legal action for the un-ready building. However, can Leila defer the $30,000 January-March lease payments over the remaining 33 months of the lease contract?
