400 Lessee’s obligations attach to reversion
(1) The rent provided for by a lease, the benefit of every provision of the
lease relating to the subject matter of the lease that is to be complied
with by the lessee, and every condition of re-entry and other condition
of the lease, is attached to, and goes with, the reversionary estate in
the land (and in any part of the land) immediately expectant on the
term granted by the lease, despite any severance of the reversionary
estate.
(2) Any rent, provision or condition mentioned in subsection (1) may be
recovered, received, enforced or taken advantage of by the person
from time to time entitled (the entitled person), subject to the term
granted by the lease, to the income of all or a part of the land leased.
(3) The entitled person may recover, receive, enforce or take advantage
of the rent, provision or condition even though the person becomes
entitled to the reversionary interest after the condition of re-entry or
forfeiture has become enforceable.
(4) This section does not make enforceable by a person a condition of re-
entry or forfeiture, or any other condition, that had been waived or
released before the person became entitled to enforce the condition.
(5) This section applies to—
(a) a lease granted on or after 26 June 1986; and
(b) a lease granted before 26 June 1986, but only in relation to rent
accruing due on or after that day and to the benefit of a condition
of re-entry or forfeiture for a breach of a provision of the lease
committed on or after that day.
