Heading: Dismissal of Count I of Green's Complaint

Text: 14 Green's theory on appeal is that, although the lease was terminated, the Steins' acceptance of rent for the months of May and June created a month-to-month tenancy or, alternatively, a tenancy at will, and that the Steins were therefore required to give notice before they could retake the premises. 4 We disagree with both contentions because there is simply no evidence in the record to support either conclusion. As the opinion of the district court indicates, the numerous letters between the Steins and Green make clear that neither party understood that the Steins' acceptance of the rent payment would create a tenancy at will or a month-to-month tenancy. As evidenced by letters between counsel on May 24 and May 31, 1989, both parties understood that acceptance of the payment by the Steins would not prejudice the Steins' rights under the terminated lease. 15
