Waterston, 276 Mich. 304, 267 N.W. 845; see also American Law of Property, Sec. 3.51. As stated in the latter authority, page 282: “Constructive eviction requires a substantial interference with possession or enjoyment, and the tenant must abandon the premises within a reasonable time. The basis of the latter requirement would seem to be waiver. So under particular facts it may be reasonable for the tenant to abandon the premises when a comparatively long period of time has elapsed since the initial interference, as where there is reliance on a promise of the *198 lessor or where it is impossible for the tenant to move.” In
