Mathilda Pfaff, Respondent, v. Helen Reddick, Appellant.
    (New York Common Pleas—Additional General Term,
    August, 1894.)
    The fact that the furnace needed some repairs in order to heat the premises does not release the tenant from the obligation to pay rent, where the lease contains a covenant that the tenant will repair and keep in repair the premises during the demised term.
    Appeal from a final order rendered in the District Court of the city of Hew York for the sixth judicial district.
    
      Straley, Hasbrouck & Schloeder, for respondent.
    
      R. W. Newhall, for appellant.
   Per Curiam.

Whatever was promised by the landlord to the tenant before the execution of the lease was merged in that instrument, and as the lease contains a covenant that the tenant will repair and keep in repair the premises during the demised term, the fact that the furnace and heater required some cleaning and other repairs in order to heat the premises does not release the tenant from the obligation to pay her rent.

The final order should, therefore, be affirmed, with costs.

Present: Bookstaver and Bisciioef, JJ.

Pinal order affirmed, with costs.
