The same principle is enunciated in 16 R. C. L., section 683, and in Underhill on Landlord and Tenant, vol. 1, section 99, and in Taylor on Landlord and Tenant, vol. 1, section 22. The following American cases uphold the principle: Williams v. Foss-Armstrong Hardware Co., 115 N. W. (Wisconsin) 803; Scully v. Roche, 135 N. Y. S. 633; Cowell v. Snyder, 115 Pac. 961; Griffin v. Knicely, 75 Ill. 411; Stees v. Bergmeier, 91 Minn. 513, 98 N. W. 648; Higgins v. Halligan, 46 Ill. 173; Commercial Cable Co. v. McKenna, 168 N. Y. S. 13; Brinkley v. Walcott, 10 Heisk (Tenn.) 22. It seems to us that the reason for the rule is obvious. The property belongs to the landlord. The tenant has no right to occupy it except with the consent of and upon terms agreeable to the landlord. If the terms and conditions imposed by the landlord are not acceptable to the tenant he may protect himself by vacating the premises. By the statute above our state has extended to tenants a longer period during which they may hold over without binding themselves for an additional year’s rent *293than is given in perhaps any other sovereignty. In the case now before ns, during the term of the original lease, the landlord in writing notified the tenant that if he desired to remain in possession of the property he would be required to pay an advance of $15.00 per month on the rent. Although it appears that the tenant objected to the increase in the rent and declined to execute a new lease at the increased rate, yet it appears that he held over after his term expired, and for four months paid the rental monthly in advance at the increased rate. We are not impressed with appellant’s contention that the statement which he testified appellee’s agent made to him during their controversy over the increased rent quoted above was sufficient to authorize him to hold over for whatever period of time he desired and to vacate the premises at any time without further liability for rents. As we understand it what was said to appellant by appellee ’s agent then was merely an emphatic way of advising him that if he did not like the rental terms proposed he could move. Certainly it cannot be construed to have made a new contract between the parties.
