Before statute, a tenant under a lease for 1 year holding over was responsible for another term on the same conditions. 9 C. 338. Under statute, mere holding over no evidence of new lease. 66 C. 432. To constitute a lease from month to month under section, three things are requisite: a parol lease, a monthly rent and no agreed time for termination of the lease. 67 C. 570. Lessor's duty to repair, under lease within statute. 73 C. 173; 74 C. 710; 131 C. 76; 132 C. 50. Effect of holding over after tenancy for 1 month. 74 C. 610; 80 C. 504; so, after oral lease for term of years with annual rental. Id., 453. Parol lease with monthly rental, to continue as long as lessee desires, is in statute. Id., 607. Oral lease for 3 years not in statute. 82 C. 413. Effect of lease reserving rentals weekly, monthly or yearly, with no definite termination. 83 C. 407; 94 C. 458. Written lease for definite term not in statute. 91 C. 152. Holding over on monthly rental after termination of 5 year lease is tenancy from month to month. 94 C. 456. Effect of holding over after 10 year lease with power of renewal unexercised. 95 C. 465.

Id.; 128 C. 497. Cited. 125 C. 551. Statute applied with reference to damages under Emergency Price Control Act. 131 C. 131; 132 C. 58.

Cited. 18 CS 491. Where there is no agreement as to terms of continued occupancy by tenant at sufferance, he is liable for reasonable rental value of premises. 23 CS 504. Cited. 38 CS 683.

Where lease includes provision for lessee's option to extend lease and no notice of extension is required by lease, mere continuation of occupancy, at end of original term, is sufficient exercise of option. 2 Conn. Cir. Ct. 34. Tenant on month-to-month basis who refused to pay increased rent and vacated premises but left in full operation a large commercial sign, held liable for reasonable value of continued use and occupancy. 5 Conn. Cir. Ct. 427.
