    Citation
    LAI LEUNG AND ANOTHER v. LEE CHAU WING
    Court
    Court of First Instance
    Case number
    HCA2119/1998

    The tenancy became a monthly tenancy from 1 January 1994; the notice to quit served on 15 May 1997 complied with s122(3) Cap.7 and validly terminated the tenancy on 30 November 1997; subsequent acceptance/retention of the Defendant's payments did not evidence an intention by the Plaintiffs to create a new tenancy, so no tenancy by conduct arose; accordingly judgment for the Plaintiffs for possession, mesne profits, rates and costs was entered.
