How have courts interpreted a conditional sale contract for real property?

Four Season's reliance on Greene v. Municipal Court (1975) 51 Cal.App.3d 446, is unavailing. There, the parties entered into a conditional sales contract for real property. The agreement required an initial down payment with the balance payable in monthly installments. The contract described the buyer's payments as "'rent and compensation for the use and occupancy of [the] property.'" (Id. at p. 449.) When the buyer defaulted on the monthly installment payments the seller brought an unlawful detainer action.
