To resume possession. Re-entry: the entering again into or resuming possession of lands. Usually in leases there is a proviso, that upon the tenant not paying the rent, or not performing the covenants contained in the lease, the landlord may re-enter; and by virtue of such proviso the lessor may take the lands or buildings into his own possession again, if the rent is not paid or the covenants are not observed by the lessee. This taking possession again is termed reentry.
