Practice question
A lease merely includes an option clause. The grantee proves no additional concession intended as separate option consideration and relies solely on its inclusion in the reciprocal lease. Is that inclusion automatically sufficient under PNOC?
- No; the separate consideration must still be established
- Yes; every lease automatically supplies it
- Yes; the word lease eliminates Article1479
- Yes; rent is necessarily the option fee in every lease
- Yes; proof is forbidden once a lease exists
