California Court of Appeal

In an unlawful detainer action brought by owners of real property against defendant that acquired possession of the property through an agreement titled, "Contract of Sale Residential Property," but that the trial court found to be a lease notwithstanding the title, the trial court's judgment in favor of plaintiffs is affirmed where, although the agreement was both a lease and a contract of sale, because possession was achieved through the lease terms of the agreement, unlawful detainer was properly used to regain possession.
