And a covenant by him that "he will leave the premises in good repair" shall, subject to the qualifications of § 55-226, have the same effect as a covenant that the demised premises will, at the expiration or other sooner determination of the term, be peaceably surrendered and yielded up unto the lessor, his representatives or assigns, in good and substantial repair and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.
