No property found at the time of distraint in or on any premises, as to which an arrear of rent is due, shall be removed from such premises without the consent of the person issuing the distress warrant, or by direction of the Registrar, till satisfaction is made, for the rent due if the arrear has accrued during the current tenancy, and if at any time such property would have been liable to distraint for rent under this Ordinance.
