[HE THAT PLAYS WITH FIRE MAY BE BURNT.] 1514. Lodgers Leaving Apartments Without Notice. Persons renting furnished apartments frequently absent themselves without apprising the householder, perhaps with the rent in arrear. If there is probable reason to believe that the lodger has left, on the second week of such absence the householder may send for a policeman, and in his presence enter the lodger's apartment and take out the latter's property, and secure it until application is made for it. 1515. Verbal Agreements. If a person make a verbal agreement to take lodgings at a future day, and decline to fulfil his agreement, the housekeeper has no remedy, and even the payment of a deposit makes no difference. 1516. Landlord using Lodger's Apartments. If a landlord enter and use apartments while his tenant is in legal possession, without his consent, he forfeits his right to recover rent. 1517. Lodgings to Immodest Women. If lodgings are let to an immodest woman, to enable her to receive visitors of the male sex, the landlord cannot recover his rent. But if the landlord did not know the character of the woman when he let the lodgings, he may recover, but not if after he knew the fact he permitted her to remain as his tenant. If the woman, however, merely lodges there, and has her visitors elsewhere, her character will not affect his claim for rent. 1518. Rent Recoverable. If a lodger quit apartments without notice, the landlord can still recover his rent by action, although he has put up a bill in the window to let them.
