The defendant seeks further to encumber a summary process proceeding by reading into the statute the requirement that, in order to dispossess a tenant properly, the owner of the premises at the time of the issuance of the notice to quit must remain the owner at the time of the issuance of the complaint. It is to be supposed that the defendant would argue, reductio ad absurdum, that the original owner ought to remain the owner during the pleadings, the trial and throughout the appeal stage, if any. The consequences would be both bizarre and humorous. In effect, the election by a landlord of a statutory right, according to the defendant, should act as a bar to the alienation of his property.
