Question:

Juliet Hwong is the owner and operator of Fashion Hair Culture. That business operates out of rented premises. The original lease ran for a period of five years. After two years, the landlord sold the property to Yip Cheung. Hwong and her lawyer wrote to Cheung to confirm the fact that the lease would continue to operate. Along with that letter, the lawyer included a document titled "Renew Lease Contract Agreement." That document stated that Hwong was entitled, at the end of the original lease, to renew the lease for an additional five-year period. Although Hwong was the only person to sign that document, Cheung did agree, during several conversations, that the lease was renewable for a further five-year period. When the original lease expired, Hwong claimed that she was entitled to renew the lease for another five years. Cheung, however, now insists that the option to renew is invalid and that the premises must be vacated. How is a court likely to resolve the dispute? Explain your answer.
