(2) The judge, after hearing the parties and any witnesses whom they may desire to call, may make such an order concerning the expenses or their appointment as he considers just and equitable in the circumstances of the case, regard being had to the terms of any contract between the parties, or, in the alternative, he may, at the request of the owner or occupier, determine the lease.
