Tasea wanted Auger either off the property or on the property at a rent higher than $500 a month. The law therefore obliged Tasea (1) to evict Auger by properly serving a valid notice to quit, or (2) to keep him there after terminating the existing tenancy with a valid notice to quit, exposing Auger to liability as a holdover tenant after the notice period expired, or (3) to keep him there at a mutually agreed higher rent. None of these three possibilities happened. Tasea’s unilateral effort to impose new lease terms should fail. I would reverse and remand for entry of judgment for arrearages in the amount of $500 per month. Respectfully, therefore, I dissent.
