Syllabus

<p>1. Enforcement of landlord’s lien.— The tenant whose goods are seized by process of attachment, and which remain in the rented premises until their sale under such process, is liable for rent during the entire period of occupancy. The goods, while in custody of the law, are not subject to seizure for rent under a distress warrant; but immediately upon a sale of them being made by the officer having them in custody, the landlord’s lieu can be-enforced by their seizure in the store and sale for all rents due. If the landlord sells the premises after the goods are attached, he has the like remedy for the collection of rents which were due before bis sale, which lie may enforce against the goods, in the hands of the purchaser of the goods, remaining in the store after their sale under attachment.</p>
