Tenancy not invalidated by reason of subletting by landlord.

11. A contract of tenancy entered into, whether before or after the
commencement of this Act, by a landlord in violation either of the Act of the
seventh year of the reign of King George the Fourth, chapter twenty-nine,
intituled "An Act to amend the law of Ireland respecting the assignment and
subletting of lands and tenements," or of an agreement against subletting in
his lease, shall not as between him and the tenant holding under such contract
be, or be deemed to have been, void or voidable, and a superior landlord shall

consent is required by law to be expressed, to a subletting made in violation
of such Act or agreement, unless within a reasonable time after the subletting
came to the knowledge of himself, or his agent, he served on the lessee or
