remedies by entry, action, or otherwise for nonperformance 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] THE ORIGINAL LANDLORD. A transferee of

original landlord. This section applies to any transferee of a reversion in leased
property, by voluntary grant or operation of law.
