Syllabus

<p>1. Landlord and Tenant. Existence of relation. Bond for title. Rights of landlord. Lien on crops for rent. Equitable estoppel.</p> <p>Where the vendor of land executed a bond for title to the vendee, and put him in possession, the bond providing that the vendee should pay interest on the purchase money and that in case the purchase money was not paid promptly at maturity that the vendee should pay rent to an amount equal to the interest, on the vendee’s failure to pay the purchase money, the vendor thereby became landlord and had a right to collect rent to an amount equal to the interest.</p> <p>2. Same.</p> <p>In such case the vendor as landlord can enforce a lien for rent and supplies against a bona fide purchaser for value of the crops raised by the tenant on the land and a failure of the vendor to notify one extending credit to the tenant in reliance on his. crops, did not estop the vendor from subjecting the crops to his lien as landlord, though the bond for title was not recorded.</p> <p>3. Same.</p> <p>In such ease the possession of the tenant under the bond was notice of its contents and there was no duty on the part of the vendor, landlord, to notify the creditor that he was extending credit at his own risk to the tenant.</p>
