¶1The appellant filed in-the Superior Court a bill of review, and obtained an interlocutory injunction, which the court afterward dissolved, and then the complainant asked the court to dismiss her bill if the court was of opinion that it showed no equity, and the court being of that opinion, dismissed it. From that decree this appeal is taken.
¶2It is unnecessary to consider the many points raised by the briefs on the subject of bills of review, as, in this case, the answer to any bill of review of the former decree is, that there is no error in it.
¶3The appellant was the tenant, by ground lease, of the appellee Haines. The leases contained provisions for payment of rent, taxes and assessments by the lessee; that if: she did not pay taxes or assessments the lessor might pay them and add them to the rent; that the buildings and improvements should be no part of the realty, but be and remain chattel property; that the rent should be a first lien upon them; and stringent provisions for a sale on default, by giving ten days notice.
¶4The terms expired Hay 1, 1888. The rent and taxes fell behind in 1886 and 1887, and on the 30th of Harch, 1888, the appellee Haines filed his bill to foreclose his lien upon the buildings.
¶5Such proceedings were had that after the report of a master as to the amount due, a decree was entered July 6, 1888, for a sale of the buildings, at the court house door, on ten days notice, unless payment was made in two days.
¶6The leases having expired more than two months before that decree was entered, the utmost right the appellant could have had to the buildings wras the right, by immediate payment of the claim upon them, to remove them from the premises. Her claim of a homestead is fully answered by Brown v. Keller, 32 Ill. 151.
¶7Against the landlord a tenant has no homestead in the premises after the term expires, nor will a homestead attach to a building alone, accompanied by no interest in the land. The terms of the sale were, in the discretion of the court, regulated by no statute, and, in fixing them, it was proper for the court to take into consideration the situation of the parties.
¶8The buildings were upon his property, which she was detaining without right. Until her claims were disposed of he was kept out of the enjoyment of his property, without recompense. She might have prevented the sale by performing the duty she had long neglected. On execution against her at any time during five years next preceding the decree, her interest in the premises might have been sold without redemption on ten days notice. Sec. 3, Chap. 77, R. S.
¶9The buildings were, in their nature, part of the realty, and could not be removed by an officer, and whether they could be sold to better advantage on the premises or at the court house, was a matter of opinion for the court to exercise its judgment upon.
¶10Probably, in the nature of things, it could make no difference, for the situation of the property was such as not to attract competition.
¶11There was no error in dismissing the bill, and the decree is affirmed. Decree affirmed.
