When rents are inherited, conveyed or devised, all rights of distress and reentry, or either of them, shall pass to the heir, grantee or devisee without express words. An inheritance, 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 the death of the ancestor or testator, or before notice of the grant, shall have paid the rent to the ancestor, testator, or grantor, shall suffer any damage thereby.
