Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court November 22, 1909 (Leavitt v. Maykel)

Knowlton, C. J.

This is an action to recover rent for premises leased by the plaintiffs to the defendants. The rent for the term covered by the lease was fully paid, but the defendants remained in occupation eight months after the expiration of the term and during that period made monthly payments of rent to the plaintiffs at the rate prescribed by the lease.
