LANDLORD AND TENANT-INTERFERENCE WITH POSSESSION OF TENANT AS BASIS FOR SUIT BY LANDLORD-INJUNCTION

Authors

Abstract

In the recent case of Petty v. Langan the South Dakota court granted to a landlord an injunction restraining a third party who claimed the right to a lease, "from going upon the land or interfering witμ the right of plaintiff and his tenant to the possession thereof." No authority was cited by the court for the position it took, and the result is hard to square with orthodox views, but the holding appears sound on principle and desirable.
