§ 55-77. "That he will not assign, etc.," and "that he will leave the premises in good repair.".

In a deed of lease a covenant by the lessee that "he will not assign without leave" shall have the same effect as a covenant that the lessee will not, during the term, assign, transfer or set over the premises, or any part thereof, to any person without the consent, in writing, of the lessor, his representative or assigns. And a covenant by him that "he will leave the premises in good repair" shall, subject to the qualifications of § 55-226, have the same effect as a covenant that the demised premises will, at the expiration or other sooner determination of the term, be peaceably surrendered and yielded up unto the lessor, his representatives or assigns, in good and substantial repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

(Code 1919, § 5179.)
