47-16-25. Notice of adverse proceedings to landlord

Every tenant who receives notice of any proceeding to recover the real property occupied

by the tenant, or the possession thereof, must:

1. Inform the tenant's landlord immediately of the notice; and

2. Deliver the notice to the landlord.

The tenant shall be responsible to the landlord for all damages which the landlord may sustain

by reason of any omission by the tenant to inform the landlord of the notice or to deliver it to the

landlord, if such notice is in writing. The attornment to a stranger is void unless made with the

consent of the landlord or in consequence of a judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction.
