ISSUE:
RULING:
No, there was no contract of lease had been perfected. Court finds that the trial
court was correct in ruling that no contract of lease was perfected and accordingly, hold
that the appellate court committed reversible error in ruling to the contrary because
during the first week, both parties were discussing the terms and conditions of the
lease, they were merely negotiating. There was no perfection yet of the contract since
both the parties did not agree upon the essential elements of the contract. There was
not meeting of the mind yet. Aside from their verbal objections, respondents sent
petitioner two demand letters to vacate the property and demanded that petitioner
terminate all construction work upon respondents’ property. Respondents’ vehement
protests against petitioners construction activities are a show of no contract had been
agreed yet.
