Syllabus

<p>Real estate — Delivery of possession — Cause of action.</p> <p>No cause of action is shown where the plaintiff in action for failure to deliver possession of premises purchased, knowing there was no written lease, and with full opportunity to inquire of the tenant, instead of protecting himself by an express agreement for possession at a specified time, chose to rely on the landlord’s recollection as to close of the tenancy, and so failed to give requisite notice to quit. In the absence of intentional deceit, this left him without remedy for .the mistake into which the parties fell, as to the notice to quit.</p> <p>Vendor and vendee — Beal estate — Delivery of possession.</p> <p>When a man sells a house, which is subject to a lease, unless he agrees that he will procure possession at a particular time, he is not bound to do so.
