Synopsis

The landlord sued the tenant for non-payment of rent, but the court dismissed the case because the landlord's demand for rent was based on an invalid lease agreement. The court ruled that a non-payment proceeding requires a valid agreement, express or implied, to pay the rent demanded and that the rent demand must specify the exact amount owed for each period.
