In Insurance Company v. National Bank, 71 Mo., 58, the lease provided that the tenant should have the privilege of renewal for a further term at the same rent, and contained a covenant for the payment of double rent after the expiration of the term. The tenant held over for a number of years paying rent as reserved in the lease, and not double rent. It was held that he was rightfully in possession, and that the conduct of the landlord in accepting single rent showed that the tenant was holding under the renewal option. The apparent conflict in the cases as will thus be seen, turns rather on the difference in the facts than on a different conception of the law. An option to renew a lease is similar to an option to renew any other obligation.
