Practice question
Head rent due is PHP30,000; subrent due at the proper demand is PHP80,000. No advance-payment issue exists. The lessor claims the full PHP80,000 solely under 1652. Which is best?
- The lessor automatically receives every subrent peso regardless of its claim.
- Subsidiary liability cannot exceed the relevant head-rent debt merely because more subrent exists.
- Head rent always doubles at demand.
- The sublessee necessarily owes nothing in every case.
- Only the sublessor’s private preference controls.
