899. In all cases of tenancy mentioned in this law, if the
tenant after notice fail to quit at the end of the term, or at the
period when he shall begin as aforesaid to be holding over, such
tenant, his executors or administrators, may, at the election of
the lessor, his heirs, executors, or administrators, or assigns, be
held as a tenant and bound to pay double the rent to which the
said tenancy was subject, and payable and recoverable in all
respects and to every effect as if, by the original agreement or
the understanding as to such tenancy, said double rent were
the reserved rent of the demised premises, according to the
