• 64 Ill. 305

Syllabus

<p>1. Forcible detainer—whether the action will lie. Under the act of 1845, and the act of 1865 amendatory thereof, where the lessee of premises has sub-let a portion of the same, and afterwards forfeits his own lease by non-payment of rent and is evicted, an action of forcible detainer will lie by the landlord against the sub-tenant-to recover possession of the portion of the premises held by him.</p> <p>2. Nor would it change the legal relations of the parties in any way so as to affect such a suit, that the landlord had consented to the sub-letting.</p>
