Termination of a periodical tenancy by either the landlord or the tenant will bring to an end the possession of a licensee from the tenant, since the licensee’s rights are only contractual rights against the tenant. Termination by the tenant will expose the tenant to a claim for damages from the licensee. A licence creates personal rights which are binding solely upon the parties to the contract and do not run with the land
