Syllabus

<p>Landlord and tenant — Lease—Privilege of renewal — Construction.</p> <p>The renewal clause in a lease which gave “the privilege to the tenant of five years after the expiration of said term at the same rental and on the same conditions from year to year” conferred upon the tenant the right to hold over after the expiration of the original term, from year to year, for a period not exceeding five years. Where the tenant held over under such option, he did not become bound for the full term of five years, but could terminate the lease at the end of any yearly period upon the giving of proper notice.</p>
