The document summarizes five cases involving tenants refusing to vacate lots owned by Antonio Tuason Jr. and Nieves Tuason de Barreto after their lease contracts expired. The owners notified the tenants to either buy the lots or enter new lease contracts with increased rent. The tenants refused and claimed the proposed sale prices and rents were unreasonable. The tenants also tried to invoke laws preventing ejectment of tenants on lands proposed for expropriation by paying rent, but the court found no actual expropriation proceedings had commenced so those laws did not apply. The court ruled mere notice of future intent to expropriate does not prevent landowners from dealing with their property.
