Open in Lexace · Ask the AI about this section
One who rents part of a room for a dwelling is entitled to the whole of the room, 
notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary. If a landlord rents a room as a dwelling for more 
than one family, the person to whom the landlord first rents any part of it is entitled to the 
possession of the whole room for the term agreed upon. Every tenant in the building under the 
same landlord is relieved from all obligation to pay rent to the landlord while such double letting 
of any room continues.
