(i) The garden, ground and out-house, if any appurtenant to such building, hut, shed or part thereof; and

(ii) Any furniture supplied by the landlord use by the tenant in such houses;

(c) “Landlord” means any person who is, for the time being receiving, or entitled to receive rent in respect of any house whether on his own account, or on account, or on behalf, or for the benefit of any other person, or as a trustee, guardian, or receiver for any other person; and includes, in respect of his subtenant, a tenant who has sub-let any house and includes every person not being a tenant who from time to time derives title under a landlord;
