[24] The principle declared by Wheeler — that prescribed legal process constitutes the sole remedy for a landlord seeking repossession of leased premises — has been recognized in several jurisdictions as the modern rule on this question. See, e. g., Kassan v. Stout, 9 Cal.3d 39, 507 P.2d 87, 106 Cal.Rptr. 783 (1973); Brooks v. LaSalle National Bank, 11 Ill.App.3d 791, 298 N.E.2d 262 (1973); Malcolm v. Little, 295 A.2d 711 (Del.1972); Edwards v. C. N. Investment Co., supra; Freeway Park Building, Inc. v. Western States Wholesale Supply. See also Annot., 6 A.L.R.3d at 186-89.
