2A:42-4.  Undertenant's liability for rent
    When premises shall be underlet by any tenant, the undertenant shall be liable to the lessor or landlord for the rent which shall accrue from and after  notice in writing served for that purpose upon the undertenant, or which shall  be unpaid by the undertenant at the time of such notice, and the lessor or  landlord shall have all the remedy for the recovery of the same by distress;   but the rent to be paid by such undertenant shall in no case exceed the amount  agreed to be paid by the first tenant.  If only a part of the premises shall be  underlet, payment shall be required only for the part underlet, at a rate  proportioned to the rent agreed to be paid by the first tenant or lessee.
