rents.

(m) It used to be considered that on payment of the increased rent the lessee was at liberty to do the act on which it became payable, so as to prevent the As to penal landlord from entering for breach of covenant; but where, as in the text, the acts in question are treated in the reddendum as breaches of covenant, it is now decided that the effect is to give an alternative remedy to the lessor either by ejectment for breach of covenant or recovery of the penal rent: Weston v. Managers of the Metropolitan Asylums District, 8 Q. B. D. 387; on ap., 30 W. R. 623. Possibly the reservation of penal rents may become more common now that the lessor's power of re-entry for breach of covenant is restricted by the Conv. Act, 1881, s. 14; see 26 Sol. Journ. 489. No additional stamp is required in respect of a penal rent, see the Stamp Act, 1870, s. 98.
