Landlord and Tenant Law Amendment Act, Ireland 1860

Sub-tenant may voluntarily pay rent to landlord.

21. Where any tenant subletting shall neglect to pay his landlord the rent payable in respect of the lands comprised in the lease, it shall be lawful for the sub-tenant, after and often as any one gale of such rent shall have accrued due and remain unpaid to such landlord, and before any action brought by such tenant against the sub-tenant, voluntarily to make payment of so much of the rent due by such sub-tenant to such tenant as may be sufficient to discharge such gale or gales; and the receipt of the landlord or his agent shall be a full discharge to the subtenant against the tenant in respect of all rent so paid.
