§ 229. Liability of tenant holding over after giving notice of

intention to quit. If a tenant gives notice of his intention to quit the

premises held by him, and does not accordingly deliver up the possession

thereof, at the time specified in such notice, he or his personal

representatives must, so long as he continue in possession, pay to the

landlord, his heirs or assigns, double the rent which he should

otherwise have paid, to be recovered at the same time, and in the same

manner, as the single rent.
