Syllabus

<p>Landlord and tenant — Distress—Replevin—Agreement as to repairs— Extension of time.</p> <p>Where a landlord distrains under a lease containing no covenant to repair, and the tenant replevies the goods, and it appears that the distress was made in the month of March for rent then due, the tenant at the trial of the replevin suit, will not be permitted to show that prior to the distress the lessor had made a parol agreement with him by which he promised that after the first of April he would repair the property, and that he would so extend the time of payment of the rent beyond the periods in the written lease, that the tenant should have until the summer of that year to make up the payments not only of the rent then in arrears, but also of that accruing each month in the meantime.</p>
