Syllabus

<p>Landlord and Tenant — Constructive Eviction — Waiver. A constructive eviction by an unlawful interference with tbe lessee’s subtenant is waived where tbe lessee does not surrender tbe premises.</p> <p>Same — Lease—Breach by Landlord — Damages — Evidence—Admissibility. Where a landlord unlawfully interfered with tbe lessee’s subtenant, causing a loss of tbe rent under tbe sublease, tbe sublease is not admissible in evidence to prove tbe damages, inasmuch as gains or profits of collateral subcontracts cannot be recovered for breach of tbe original contract, where tbe subcontract was made after tbe execution of tbe original contract.</p>
