But a release of all demands does not discharge rent before it is due ,
if it be a rent incident to the reversion ;
for the rent was not only not due ,
but the consideration -
the future enjoyment of the lands -
for which the rent was to be given ,
was not executed .

Demands are either express or implied .
In many cases ,
an express demand must be made before the commencement of an action ,
some of which will be considered below ;
in other cases an implied demand is all that the law requires ,
and the bringing of an action is a sufficient demand in those cases .

A demand is frequently necessary to secure to a man all his rights ,
both in actions arising on contracts and those which are founded on some tort .
It is requisite also ,
when it is intended to bring the party into contempt for not performing an order which has been made a rule of court .

1 .
Whether a demand is requisite before the plaintiff can commence an action arising on contract ,
depends upon express or implied stipulations of the parties .
In case of the sale of property ,
for example ,
to be paid for on delivery ,
a demand of it must be made before the commencement of an action for non -
delivery ,
and proved on the trial ,
unless it can be shown that the seller has incapacitated himself by a resale and delivery of the property to another person ,
or otherwise .

There are cases where ,
a demand is not originally necessary ,
but becomes so by the act of the obligor .
On a promissory note no express demand of payment is requisite before bringing an action ,
but if the debtor tenders the amount due to the creditor on the note ,
it becomes necessary before bringing .
an action ,
to make a demand of the debtor for payment ;
and this should be of the very sum tendered .

The demand must ,

It is requisite in some cases arising ex delicto ,
to make a demand of restoration of the right before the commencement of an action .
12 .
The following are examples 1 .
When the wife ,
apprentice ,
or servant of one person ,
has been harbored by another ,
the proper course is to make a demand of restoration before an action brought ,
in order to constitute the party a willful wrongdoer ,
unless the plaintiff can prove an original illegal enticing away .

In cases where the taking of goods is lawful ,
but their subsequent detention becomes illegal ,
it is absolutely necessary ,
in order to secure sufficient evidence of a conversion on the trial ,
to give a formal notice of the owner '
s right to the property and possession ,
and to make a formal demand in writing of the delivery of such possession to the owner .
The refusal to comply with such a demand ,
unless justified by some right which the possessor may have in the thing detained ,
will in general afford sufficient evidence of a conversion .

When a nuisance has been erected or continued by a man on his own land )
it is advisable ,
particularly in the case of a private nuisance ,
to give the party notice and request him to remove it ,
either before an entry is made for the purpose of abating it ,
or an action is commenced against the wrong doer and a demand is always indispensable in cases of a continuance of a nuisance originally created by another person .
