Syllabus

<p>1. Landlord and tenant—party buying out tenant A party purchasing and taking possession of property from one who is a tenant, takes but his interest, and subject to Ms obligation to pay rent to his landlord.</p> <p>2. Same—notice to terminate tenancy for non-payment of rent A notice to terminate a tenancy for non-payment of rent is not defective because it fails to mention any time for the payment of the rent due, and it will be good even if it misdescribes the number of the lot, when it is apparent that it is not misleading as to the rent and lease intended, and proof is made, without objection, that the lot leased and the one named in the notice are the same.</p> <p>3. Same—service of notice to terminate for non-payment of rent. Where a tenant sold out his.interest in the demised premises, and the landlord, to terminate the tenancy for the non-payment of rent, delivered a written notice to the father of the party in possession, addressed to the original tenant, which the parly in possession afterwards received and read, the service of the notice was held sufficient.</p>
