Syllabus

Commercial lease summary judgment lease renewal holdover tenant breach affidavit based on personal knowledge promissory estoppel. The trial court did not err by granting summary judgment to a tenant on landlord's breach-of-lease claims. Tenant did not renew the lease per the express provision of the document. Therefore, tenant was a holdover tenant on a month-to-month term. Landlord failed to show that tenant breached the lease. The court did not err by striking parts of an affidavit that were not based on personal knowledge and amounted to legal conclusions. A promissory estoppel claim will necessarily fail when there is an enforceable contract between the parties.
