It provides a summary remedy for a landlord whose 'tenant holds over without right after the determination of the lease. It lies where common law ejectment would lie. It is given for wrongful holding over of demised premises, and thus has all the characteristics of ejectment. The action sounds in tort. All the provisions of the statutes creating and allowing justice ejectment... proceed upon the supposition that the lease is at an end. It is only when the lessee holds without right after the determination of the lease that a plaintiff can resort to the remedy.
