There was no finding that the parties mutually had agreed to a particular higher rent, or that Auger had agreed in advance to a partic*23ular rent increase if certain events occurred, such as a valuable zoning change or more lucrative plans for the property. The court nonetheless ruled, as a matter of law, that since the partnership (Tasea) had “said [in an October 8, 1993 letter to Auger] they were going to” raise the rent to $168.94 per day, they had a right to do so simply because “there is no limitation in the partnership agreement about the partners not being able to raise the rent.” The court magically transformed the parties’ relationship as to the parking lot from landlord and tenant to general partner and limited partner, and ruled that Tasea could dictate, unilaterally, what Auger should pay.
