If there is no demand or payment for more than 20 consecutive years of any
specific rent reserved out of a particular property or any part of a particular property
under any form of lease, the rent conclusively is presumed to be extinguished and the
landlord may not set up any claim for the rent or to the reversion in the property out
of which it issued. The landlord also may not institute any suit, action, or proceeding
to recover the rent or the property. However, if the landlord is under any legal
disability when the period of 20 years of nondemand or nonpayment expires, [he]
THE LANDLORD has two years after the removal of the disability within which to
assert [his] THE LANDLORD'S rights.

containing a covenant for perpetual renewal of all or part of the leased premises by

whole or any part of the leased premises, of which possession is retained, and in favor
of the tenant or of the person claiming under [him] THE TENANT, that a new lease of
the whole of the leased premises was executed prior to the expiration of the lease by
the landlord named in it, or by the person rightfully claiming under the landlord, to
the tenant, or the person rightfully claiming under the tenant for the additional term
under the rent and on the covenants, conditions, and stipulations as were provided in
the lease.

If a tenant named in a lease or an assignee of a lease applies to [his] THE
TENANTS landlord for a renewal under a covenant in the lease giving [him] THE
TENANT the right to renewal, and if the tenant cannot produce vouchers or

[his] THE LANDLORD'S demand and application, the landlord, before executing the
renewal of the lease or causing it to be executed, is entitled to demand and recover not
more than three years' back rent, in addition to any renewal fine that may be
provided for in the lease. The tenant may plead this section in bar of the recovery of
any larger amount of rent.

8-113.

A covenant or promise by the tenant to leave, restore, surrender, or yield the
leased premises in good repair does not bind [him] THE TENANT to erect any similar
building or pay for any building destroyed by fire or otherwise without negligence or
fault on [his] THE TENANT'S part.
