Facts of the Case
Background
The plaintiff leased premises at 55 Coventry Road, Harare to the defendant from 1 April 2004. The lease was extended several times, with the last extension to 30 September 2009 at a monthly rental of US$4,050. A new lease agreement for US$8,000 monthly from 1 October 2009 to 31 December 2009 was drafted but never signed. The defendant paid US$8,000 monthly from October 2009 to November 2010, then reverted to paying US$4,050, claiming the higher payments were double payments.
