“The forcible entry and detainer statute provides a speedy and adequate remedy against a tenant who wrongfully is in possession of land. However, it is not the exclusive remedy to oust one who is in wrongful possession. Generally, an action of ejectment will lie to recover the possession of leased premises where the tenant has retained possession after expiration of the term, or for nonpayment of rent or for forfeiture of the lease by breach of the conditions thereof, where it is stipulated in the lease that the lessor shall have the right to re-enter for such nonpayment of rent or breach of condition.”
1 later decision quote this exact passage · from the majoritye.g. Cache County v. Beus“Generally, a lease may be unilaterally terminated prior to the expiration of its term by exercise of an option to terminate or by enforcement of a forfeiture. A forfeiture of the leasehold may result by virtue of a clause in the lease providing for forfeiture in case of breach of covenant or condition. Where such is clearly provided for, the courts will generally enforce it.”
