This action is brought by plaintiff, a tenant, against the defendant, the landlord, for actionable negligence. It is well settled in this jurisdiction, as was said in Salter v. Gordon, 200 N.C. 381 (382): "In the absence of an agreement as to repairs the landlord is not obligated to keep the building in repair for the benefit of his tenant. Improvement Co. v. Coley-Bardin, 156 N.C. 255; Fields v. Ogburn, 178 N.C. 407; Tucker v. Yarn Mill Co., 194 N.C. 756.
PER CURIAM. The judgment in this action is in accord with the law in this State as declared and applied by this Court in Mortgage Co. v. Massie, 209 N.C. 146; Salter v. Gordon, 200 N.C. 381, 157 S.E. 11; Tucker v. Yarn Mill, 194 N.C. 756, 140 S.E. 744; and Fields v. Ogburn, 178 N.C. 407, 100 S.E. 583. In the last cited case it is said: "In the absence of express stipulation on the subject, there is usually no obligation or assurance on the part of the landlord to his tenant that the premises will be kept in repair, or that the same are fit or suitable for the purposes for which they are rented."
PER CURIAM. The judgment of nonsuit is supported by Tucker v. Yarn Mill Co., 194 N.C. 756, 140 S.E. 744; Salter v. Gordon, 200 N.C. 381, 157 S.E. 11; Williams v. Osage Mfg. Co., ante, 859. Affirmed.
