Syllabus

<p>Landlord and Tenant — Unaccepted Lease — Tenancy From Month to Month — Evidence—Sufficiency. In an action of forcible entry and detainer, findings to the effect that the premises were not held under a written lease, and that the lessee was a tenant from month to month, are sustained where it appears that a former written lease had been made and abrogated by mutual consent before the tenant took possession, that the landlord executed a second lease, containing conditions, which to be binding, required the tenant’s formal consent, but was not executed or otherwise consented to by him and was never delivered.</p> <p>Same — Tenancy From Month to Month — Notice to Quit. A tenant from month to month cannot be ousted by an action of forcible entry and detainer, under Rem. & Bal. Code, § 812, unless notice to quit be served at least twenty days prior to the end of the period.</p>
