It is urged by appellant, in argument, that the allegations of the complaint do not show a contract for the leasing of realty, but a contract for lodging, personal in its nature, and upon which defendant can only be held liable in damages for breach of contract, as upon actions for the breach of contracts for the purchase of personal property.
There is nothing in the complaint showing that the defendant was a mere lodger or that the contract was a contract for lodging. It states a cause of action for the non-payment of a definite and certain sum, due and payable under a contract of lease of certain real estate. The allegations of the complaint that defendant rented and leased of the plaintiff two rooms; that defendant agreed to pay the plaintiff the sum of $60, in advance, as rent for said premises for the ensuing month; that said sum *263had not been paid,— contain a statement of facts sufficient to show a right of recovery. The further allegations of the complaint, that defendant so leased and rented said premises, and had the right to the possession thereof, and to the use and enjoyment of the same, at all times during said month, are wholly unnecessary and immaterial averments, in no way limiting or controlling the other statement of facts. In passing upon a demurrer to a pleading, on the ground that it does not state facts sufficient to constitute a cause of action, the court will only inquire whether it can gather from the pleading the requisite facts, ignoring all immaterial matter and unnecessary allegations. Bliss, Code PI. § 425; Herfort v. Cramer, 7 Colo. 483, 488.
The second ground of demurrer, that the complaint is ambiguous, unintelligible and uncertain, in failing to show whether defendant-used and enjoyed the premises or merely had the right to the possession, use and enjoyment of the same, is not well taken. The facts admitted by the demurrer are that defendant leased of the plaintiff certain realty, for a definite term, at an agreed rent, and that said rent is due and unpaid. The action is brought to recover such rent, and is based upon the express agreement to pay a fixed and certain sum. The allegations relating to the use and enjoyment, or the right to the use and enjoyment, of the premises,- constitute no part of the facts upon which the cause of action rests, and hence there can be no conclusion of law from -such allegations upon which an issue of law can be joined. These allegations might have been stricken out -on motion. The judgment should be affirmed.
