Syllabus

<p>Affidavit of defense — Practice, C. P. — Landlord and tenant.</p> <p>In an action for rent where the statement avers payment in advance of rent for a previous month and that the defendant requested the plaintiff to send a bill for the rent, an affidavit of defense is sufficient which denies any payment of rent for a previous month or any agreement or contract for rent of the premises, &t the rate charged, or at any other rate. In such a ease the omission to deny the averment as to the request for a bill for rent, does not amount to an admission that the rent was due.</p>
