Syllabus

<p>Mechanic’s lien — Landlord’s consent — Lease—Waiver of liens— Landlord and tenant — Act of June 4, 1901, P. L. 481.</p> <p>A mechanic’s lien for a heating system filed against a leased building will be stricken off where the record does not show any writing signed by the landlord to the effect that “the improvement was in fact made for him for his immediate use and benefit,” as required by the Act of June 4, 1901, P. L. 431, but the lease attached to the claim contains an express stipulation by the lessee that in any contract he might make for the installation of a heating system there should be inserted a clause waiving the contractor’s right to file a mechanic’s lien.</p>
