2A:42-4.Ā  Undertenant's liability for rent
When premises shall be underlet by any tenant, the undertenant shall be liable to the lessor or landlord for the rent which shall accrue from and afterĀ  notice in writing served for that purpose upon the undertenant, or which shallĀ  be unpaid by the undertenant at the time of such notice, and the lessor orĀ  landlord shall have all the remedy for the recovery of the same by distress; but the rent to be paid by such undertenant shall in no case exceed the amountĀ  agreed to be paid by the first tenant.Ā  If only a part of the premises shall beĀ  underlet, payment shall be required only for the part underlet, at a rateĀ  proportioned to the rent agreed to be paid by the first tenant or lessee.
