That Sections 752A to 752F, inclusive, of Article 4 of the
Code of Public Local Laws of Maryland and Baltimore
City Charter (1938 Edition), title "Baltimore City, " sub-
title "Landlord and Tenant, " as said sections were enacted
by Chapter 441 of the Acts Of 1943, be and they are hereby
repealed and that two new sections be and they are hereby
added to said Article, said new sections to be known as
Sections 752% and 755%, to follow immediately after
Sections 752 and 755, respectively, of said Article, and to
read as follows:

752%. The filing of a complaint in summary ejectment
under this sub-title, the trial of said cause and the granting
of a judgment of restitution shall not preclude the plain-
tiff or the owner of said premises from filing and main-
taining an independent suit for rent due and unpaid.

755%. If a tenant under any such demise, shall die,
the surviving spouse, or any member of his immediate
family who has occupied the premises with the deceased
tenant at the time of his death shall have the right, upon
payment to the landlord of the agreed rent (including any
rent that may be in arrears at the time of tenant's death)
to be substituted as tenant to the same extent as the orig-
inal tenant. If a tenant shall die, the landlord shall have
the right to summary ejectment for non-payment of rent
by making the personal representative of the deceased ten-
ant the party defendant. If a tenant shall die and no letters
shall be issued on his estate to a personal representative,
then the landlord after he shall have filed a statement under
oath setting forth these facts shall have the right to pro-
ceed in summary ejectment for non-payment of rent by
naming the estate of the deceased tenant as the defendant.
