Wilder v. House

Citations

• 48 Ill. 279

Syllabus

<p>1. Trespass—when it will lie—landlord entitled to possession—cannot resort to force. Under our statute, though a landlord be wrongfully kept out of possession, he has no right to resort to force to effect an entry. Such an entry is unlawful, and being so, an action for the trespass will lie.</p> <p>2. Rohmer decision. The case of Pardy v. Reeder, 41 Ill. 2I79, is to the same effect.</p>
