WHAT POWERS TO PASS TO GRANTEE OR DEVISEE; WHEN ATTORNMENT UNNECESSARY (§
55-220)

In conveyances or devises of rents in fee, with powers of distress and reentry,
or either of them, such powers shall pass to the grantee or devisee without
express words. A grant or devise of a rent, or of a reversion or remainder,
shall be good and effectual without attornment of the tenant; but no tenant who,
before notice of the grant, shall have paid the rent to the grantor shall suffer
any damage thereby.
