    I can’t imagine what argument that owner could be relying on.   If the premises subject to lease are no longer available, due to events beyond the control of the lessor, then the lease terminates.   There should be provisions in that lease for how that happens, but that’s between the owner and his tenant.  It’s no different than if the property was resumed, or any number of other circumstances where the property is no longer available.  Commercial or non-commercial makes no difference.
