If a person is entitled to rent or compensation, whether such person has the

though his estate or interest in the land has ended. When the owner of real
estate in fee, or holder of a term, yielding him rent dies, the rent due after
such owner&#8217;s or termholder&#8217;s death shall be recoverable by such
owner&#8217;s heir or devisee or such termholder&#8217;s personal
representative. If the owner or holder alienates or assigns his estate or term,
or the rent falls due after such alienation or assignment, the alienee or
assignee may recover such rent.
