The court held that the historical "right to let" conferred exclusive possession and use of particular floors akin to ownership; the 1972 transaction effected an equitable assignment of the First Floor to the Purchaser who, having taken possession and later benefited from letters of administration, holds two-thirds of the legal and equitable interests; contributions by the Purchaser were credited and the notice to quit was ineffective because the Purchaser's occupancy derived from ownership rights rather than tenancy.
