One who hires part of a room for a dwelling is entitled to
the whole of the room, notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary;
and if a landlord lets a room as a dwelling for more than one
family, the person to whom he first lets any part of it is entitled
to the possession of the whole room for the term agreed upon, and
every tenant in the building, under the same landlord, is relieved
from all obligation to pay rent to him while such double letting of
any room continues.
