561.17 ACTION FOR WASTE.
If a guardian, tenant for life or years, joint tenant, or tenant in common, of real property,
commits waste thereon, any person injured by the waste may bring an action against the waster
therefor, in which there may be judgment for treble damages, forfeiture of the estate of the party
offending, and eviction from the property. Judgment of forfeiture and eviction can only be given
in favor of the person entitled to the reversion, against the tenant in possession when the injury to
the estate in reversion is adjudged in the action to be equal to the value of the tenant's estate or
unexpired term, or to have been done in malice.
