Opinion of the Court

PER CURIAM.

The lease provision interpreted differently by the parties contains a latent ambiguity that may be resolved only by consideration of extrinsic evidence, which evidence is itself conflicting. Summary judgment is inappropriate notwithstanding that the case is to be tried before the same judge who may have considered the extrinsic evidence in entering summary judgment. See Morton v. Morton, 307 So.2d 835, 839-40 (Fla. 3d DCA), cert. denied, 324 So.2d 90 (Fla. 1975).

Reversed.
