Facts: The Claimant agreed to let a property to the defendant from month to month for a weekly rent. Clause 5 of the agreemnt said that he could end the agremenent by giving one month's noice. Clause 6 of the agreement said the claimant could only end if, for example, the rent was in arrears for a certain time
Held: The Supreme Court held that this was not a monthly periodic tenancy because of clauses 5 and 6 which restricted the circumsances when it could be ended. It would have, therefore, been void due to its uncertain duration. However, the court held it took effect as a lease for life and so was saved by operation of s149 (6) LPA 1925, which converted leases for lives into leases for 90 years
