California Court of Appeal

In an action for breach of an agreement for lease of commercial premises, judgment in favor of the lessees is affirmed, where: 1) an attempt by a nondefendant lessee to exercise an option to extend the lease by written notice was ineffective and not binding on the defendant lessees; 2) the option could not be exercised as to the defendants by the conduct of the nondefendant lessee; and 3) the lessor consented to the nondefendant lessee's continued occupancy of the premises, so a holdover provision providing for a monthly rent of 200 percent of the base rent did not apply.
