ABSTRACT
Likewise, in favour of the tenant, the new landlord must observe the covenants entered into by the original landlord insofar as those covenants have reference to the subject-matter of the lease.
Law of Property Act 1925 s 142 (1) The obligation under a condition or of a covenant entered into by a lessor with
reference to the subject-matter of the lease shall, if and as far as the lessor has power to bind the reversionary estate immediately expectant on the term granted by the lease, be annexed and incident to and shall go with that reversionary estate, or the several parts thereof, notwithstanding severance of that reversionary estate, and may be taken advantage of and enforced by the person in whom the term is from time to time vested by conveyance, devolution in law, or otherwise; and, if and as far as the lessor has power to bind the person from time to time entitled to that reversionary estate, the obligation aforesaid may be taken advantage of and enforced against any person so entitled.
