Section 28(4)(a) of the Civil Law Act does not require the landlord to prove wilful and contumacious conduct to recover double rent; the statute makes double rent chargeable at the landlord's option upon holding over, but recovery is only available where the holding over is without the landlord's consent (express or implied) — holding over with the landlord's tacit or express consent (creating tenancy at will) precludes double rent for that period.
