22. Overholding by Tenant.

If the Tenant remains in occupation of the Premises after the expiration of the Term without a

written agreement to the contrary, he or she shall not be deemed to be a tenant from year to

her, shall have the right to enter the same either by force or otherwise without being liable

for any prosecution therefore, and to re-let the Premises and to receive the rent therefore.

enter upon the Premises or any part of them in the name of the whole and relet the Premises

terms of this Lease, and shall not defeat or affect in any way the Landlord’s rights in respect

of any such subsequent default or breach.
