Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

The proviso to section 109 protects a lessee who, without reason to believe the lessor has transferred the property, pays the rent to the original lessor. On the stated absence of notice and good-faith payment, B is not required to pay the same rent again to C. It is not a rule allowing continued payment to the former lessor after the tenant knows of the transfer.
