The tenant alleged he was no longer in possession, having surrendered or assigned his lease to another tenant by oral agreement. As such, the tenant alleged this court was without jurisdiction, since he was no longer in possession. The Landlord had not consented to the assignment. The Court found the assignment to be invalid and the tenant liable for the rents.
