The Case
On the facts of the instant case, a tenant who had become a 'tolerated trespasser' by virtue of his having breached the terms of his tenancy agreement but remained in occupation, had obtained the benefit of a new tenancy because, viewed objectively, the conduct of both landlord and tenant had been only sensibly referable to the existence of a new tenancy.
