Whatever remedies the lessee of any real property may have against his immediate lessor, for the breach of any agreement in the lease, he may have against the assigns of the lessor, and the assigns of the lessee may have against the lessor and his assigns, except upon covenants against incumbrances or relating to the title or possession of the premises.

Notes

Extends a real-property lessee’s remedies for breach of lease agreements against the immediate lessor to the lessor’s assigns, and gives the lessee’s assigns corresponding remedies against the lessor and the lessor’s assigns. The extension does not apply to covenants against encumbrances or covenants concerning title to or possession of the premises.
