HATLEY V STAFFORD
588 P.2d 603 (1978)
NATURE OF THE CASE: This was a dispute over a lease agreement. Stafford (D) lessors appealed a verdict rendered in favor of Hatley (P) lessee in his action for trespass against D.
FACTS: Hatley (P) leased land from Stafford (D) under a written lease that allowed reentry by D in order to develop a mobile home park. P sued D for trespass for taking possession of the property and cutting his immature wheat crop. D alleged that they had a right to terminate the lease and offered to pay P the $70 per acre as stated in the contract. P demanded $400 per acre and alleged that the written agreement was not the entire integrated agreement of the parties and that they had orally agreed that the buyout provision would apply only for a period of 30 to 60 days after signing the lease. The trial court allowed this evidence and P got the verdict. D appealed.
