130 Rent and benefit of lessee's covenants to run with reversion
(1) Rent reserved by a lease, the benefit of every covenant, obligation

observed or performed on the lessee's part and every condition of
re-entry and other condition contained in the lease is to be annexed
and incident to and to go with the reversionary estate in the land or
any part of the reversionary estate in the land immediately
expectant on the term granted by the lease.

in the land and without prejudice to any liability affecting a
covenantor or the covenantor's estate.

(4) If a person becomes entitled to the income of land by conveyance
or otherwise, the rent, covenant, obligation or term referred to in

advantage of by the person even though the person has become
entitled to the income after the condition of re-entry or forfeiture has
become enforceable.
