Millare v. Hon.

Hernando

151 SCRA 484, June 30, 1987

Feliciano, J.:

Facts: Pacifica Millare and spouses Co entered into a five-year Contarct of Lease, where Pacifica agreed to rent out Peoples Restaurant with a monthly rate of P 350.00. In 1980, Pacifica informed spouses that the lease will continue if they will pay P 1,200.00 a month. Spouses opposed, bargaining that P 700.00 a month will be paid. Spouses thought that the Contract of Lease was renewed that they continued to occupy the said property. On July 1980, Pacifica wrote Spouses Co to vacate the premises because the Lease Contract will not be renewed. Another letter of demand was given by Pacifica. The spouses now filed a complaint seeking the renewal of the Lease Contract. On the other hand, Pacifica filed an ejectment case against the spouses. The judge dismissed the case and ordered the renewal of the Contract.

Issue: Whether or not Article 1197 of the Civil Code is applicable.

Held: No. The first paragraph of the said provision is inapplicable because the contract fixed a period. The second paragraph will also not apply because the duration of renewal of the contract lies to the will of both parties. Lastly, the provision will not apply since the contract was not renewed. Hence, Article 1197 is not applicable to the case at bar.
