The lessees of any lands, their assigns, or personal representatives, shall have the same remedy, by action or otherwise, against the lessor, his grantees, his assignees, or his or their representatives, for the breach of any agreement in such
lease, as such lessee might have had against his immediate lessor; but this section shall have no application to the covenants against incumbrances, or relating to the title or possession of the premises demised.
