Most-quoted passages
The sentences later courts lift from this opinion, ranked by how many decisions quote each — the parts of the opinion doing the work. These counts are smaller than the citation total above because most of the 6 citing decisions cite the case generally; a passage count includes only decisions quoting that exact language verbatim.
“The consideration given for rent is the right to occupy the premises. If the right to occupy terminates, then the obligation to pay rent ceases, and no debt is created until the time stipulated for the payment arrives. Standard Oil Co. of New Jersey v. Elliott, 80 F.2d 158 (4th Cir.1935); In re Roth & Appel, 181 F. 667, 669 (2d Cir.1910). Therefore, if one is obligated to pay rent in the future, the debt does not arise until the time for payment arrives.”
