RENEWABLE LEASEHOLD CONVERSION ACT 1849 - SECT 20

Fee-farm rent recoverable by like remedies as rent-service reserved on demise for life.

20. The fee-farm rent made payable by any grant under this Act, or by any
grant made after the passing of this Act, shall be recoverable by ...
ejectment for nonpayment of rent, action of debt, covenant, and all other
ways, means, remedies, actions, suits, or otherwise, by which rent-service
reserved on any common lease or demise for a life or lives is or may be by law
recoverable; and all the enactments relating to ejectment for nonpayment of
rent, ..., or other remedies for recovery thereof, shall apply to every such
fee-farm rent as aforesaid, as fully and effectually as if the same were
rent-service reserved on a lease for a life or lives; and in proceedings by
ejectment for nonpayment of such fee-farm rent, under the statutes for the
time being in force in Ireland in relation to ejectment for nonpayment of rent
made applicable under this Act to such fee-farm rent as aforesaid, the receipt
of such fee-farm rent for three years by the lessor of the plaintiff, or any
person or persons through whom he claims, shall have the same force and effect
as a similar receipt of rent-service reserved on any lease for life or lives
would have in proceedings by ejectment for nonpayment of such rent under such
statutes; ... and in actions of ..., debt, or covenant or other proceeding
founded on such grant as aforesaid, proof that the said plaintiff or other
person, or any person or persons through whom he claims, has or have been in
possession or in receipt of such fee-farm rent for three years shall be
sufficient evidence of the title of the plaintiff or other person thereto, as
in cases of ejectment for nonpayment of rent under the statutes in force in
relation thereto; and if in any such action of ejectment as aforesaid judgment
be given for the plaintiff, and execution executed, or if any entry be made in
respect of such fee-farm rent as aforesaid, or by virtue of any condition for
re-entry contained in any such grant as aforesaid, then the estate in the
lands acquired under such judgment and execution or by such entry shall be of
the like nature, and shall be subject to the same or the like uses, trusts,
charges, liens, equities, rights, and incumbrances, as if such judgment and
execution or such entry had been in respect of an estate in reversion, and of
a rent or of a condition, as the case may be, incident thereto, and such
estate in reversion had stood limited to the same uses and trusts, and subject
to the same charges, liens, equities, rights, and incumbrances, to which such
fee-farm rent stood limited or subject.
