The answer to the question is use reasonable means to find a new tenant to mitigate damages. This particular approach is actually the preferred method when dealing with contract breaches, which is part of the duty to mitigate, applied to the landlord.

In this context, Longview Mall has a duty to find another tenant to ensure that the property does not sit empty for a long period of time (maximum 2 years).
