Trustees of the gift of Thomas Pocklington v Hill and another , CA 16 March 1989. In the almost complete absence of evidence of rent increases it could not be inferred that a contractual tenancy was ever determined. The first respondent therefore acquired the contractual term on her father`s death. The first respondent`s tenancy became a statutory tenancy in September 1985 on the issue of a second notice of rent increase. However, when the second respondent went into possession in January 1983, she acquired the first respondent`s tenancy by assignment . Accordingly, she held the contractual term for some time before it was converted into a statutory tenancy; she is entitled to remain in possession and is protected by the Rent Act 1977 .
