formance of any condition or agreement contained in the lease, as
the original landlord would have had if the reversion or rent had
remained in him; and any transferee, whether by voluntary con-
veyance or by operation of law, of the reversion in leased property
shall be subject to the same remedies, by action or otherwise, for
non-performance of any agreement contained in the lease, as the
original landlord.

Where a landlord, having only an estate for life, dies on or before
the day upon which the rent that has been earned is payable and

theless, that if at the time when the right of action or of entry
