In appellants’ second sub-point, they contend that the lease was not terminated because the “mistaken” rent payments, made for the months they were in possession of the premises in 1986, ought to have been set-off against the amounts that they owed for rent in 1987. Appellants do not dispute that they did not make the monthly rental payments for January 1, 1987, to June 11, 1987, the date they vacated the premises. Upon default, respondent terminated the lease by serving notice to appellants on February 2,1987. Here, it is clear that appellants paid $26,728.94 in rent from July to December, 1986, under the mistaken belief that it was due, but made no rent payments in 1987.
