Syllabus

<p>1. Landlord and tenant—-forfeiture for non-payment of rent. At common law, in order to justify the landlord in declaring a forfeiture of the lease, for the non-payment of rent, a demand of the rent was necessary on the day it became due; but the statute of this State has changed the rule,, and a demand may be made any time thereafter.</p> <p>3. Admissions—dy act of a pa/rty. Where a party, in rendering an account, charges himself with rent of property for each of a series of months as of the first of each month, this will be an admission, on his part, that he was to pay rent monthly, in advance.</p>
