body: I'm reading through a lease agreement that a friend has been offered for renting a space for a business, and one of the clauses just says "TIME OF THE ESSENCE OF THIS LEASE", with no other explanation. From reading [this web page](http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Time+is+of+the+Essence), I think they meant to say "time **is** of the essence". What I'm curious about is how enforceable this aspect of the contract is. As they provide no real explanation (such as what I found on the linked page), and they've left out a word, would this be considered as legally binding as if they had put the word in, as well as a full explanation?
