EXPERT OPINION
In sale-leaseback transactions involving a portfolio of properties, landlords often require that properties be grouped in master leases rather than several individual leases—despite the resulting loss of flexibility for both landlord and tenant—in order to protect against the risk that the tenant can “cherry pick” by rejecting leases for less desirable properties in a bankruptcy.

Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code grants debtors the ability to assume or reject any executory contract or unexpired lease. Debtors must assume or reject a lease in its entirety and are not free under Section 365 to assume only favorable provisions of a lease. See In re Village Rathskeller, Inc., 147 B.R. 665, 671 (Bankr. S.D.N.Y. 1992). Courts, however, have consistently held that they will not find a multi-property master lease to be a unitary lease merely because such properties are demised in a single document. See, e.g., In re Buffets Holdings, 387 B.R. 115, 120 (Bankr. D. Del. 2008).
