The court held the extension constituted annual renewal (not month-to-month), therefore clause 4.3 applied and the landlord was entitled to recover eight months' rent for premature determination; however the reinstatement claim was dismissed because clause 2.17 required a written notice to the tenant and actual incurred costs before liability arose, and parts of the alleged works predated the respondent's occupation so apportionment/actual loss was not established.
