In some states there is a provision of law that where a tenant is dispossessed and the lease that he held had a period of more than five years unexpired, that he has a right to come in at any time after the dispossess and pay up all arrears, and again obtain possession of the property. That is to say, he has a right of redemption. In the long form of lease given in the appendix the tenant specifically waives this right of redemption. The advantage of such a clause is that it enables the landlord to be rid of a tenant who does not promptly meet his obligations and he may then proceed to obtain another tenant without fear of the first tenant coming in and claiming the right of redemption.
