Heading: Did the lower court err in failing to find for the appellants and in failing to award them damages to repair the damage caused by lessee's failure to comply with the lease?

Text: In this assignment of error, appellant challenges the ruling of the court and contends that since the chancellor did not state that Breland was in compliance with the lease, the Leards were entitled to re-enter for conditions broken. This assertion, however, ignores the chancellor's ruling that the Leards were found to be in violation of the lease due to inadequate notice. Appellant further argues that the Brelands did not come into the court of equity with clean hands and that since Breland failed to object to the sufficiency of notice for re-entry, such failure constituted a waiver. Thompson on Real Property, 1959 Replacement, Sec. 1356, p. 676. The Leards filed suit one month after the dispossession in October, 1982. This assigned error is without merit.
