The Act makes provisions in respect of powers and remedies given to lessors and landlords in case of any tenant deserting the demised premises, and leaving the same uncultivated or unoccupied, so as no sufficient distress can be had to countervail the arrears of rent. These powers and remedies are applicable in the case of tenants holding any lands, tenements, or hereditaments at a rack rent.
