§ 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.
