Smith v. Wagner

The plaintiff herein certainly was entitled to judgment herein for the April, 1892, rent, amounting to $75. Because of defendant’s answer as to the rent for the month of March ¡he is also entitled to it, for it appears that in November, 1891, he ¡received rent for that month from defendant, and that defendant remained in possession of the store with the landlord’s consent •until May 1, 1893. This agreement created between the plaintiff ¡and defendant the relation of landlord and tenant, and made defendant liable to plaintiff for the reasonable value of the premises •occupied by him, which the testimony shows is $75 for the April month. Judgment is therefore affirmed, with costs. All concur.
