Rainwater v. Preas

This case presents the single question of whether the landlord is entitled to possession as the Chancellor held, against the contention that there was a valid extension of the lease beyond the original term by a holding over.

The facts are peculiar and were held by the Chancellor to take the case out of the general rule recognized in Wilson v. Alexander, 115 Tenn. 125, 131, 88 S. W. 935; Lewis v. Bringhurst Reid Co., 155 Tenn. 177, 178, 290 S. W. 972; Walgreen v. Walton, 16 Tenn. App. 213, 64 S. W. (2d) 44; Louisville & N. R. Co. v. Conasauga River Lumber Company, 25 Tenn. App. 157, 153 S. W.…
