Whether a tenancy contract exists beyond the initial six-month period when the parties did not agree on the rent for the later period.
No. A lease does not come into existence, or cannot continue, for the later period without agreement on the rent; the parties may have intended further negotiations, but absent consensus the court cannot replace the missing agreement.
The court reaffirmed that the rent must be agreed or at least determinable as an essential element of the tenancy contract. It declined to follow the broader view allowing judicial completion of the contract, and held that even begun performance does not create a contract for the later period if consensus on the rent is missing.
