A temporary absence from the premises does not constitute a loss of the actual possession nor prevent the commencement of forcible entry and detainer against one who forcibly enters or detains the premises, and one who enters during such temporary absence does not acquire the legal possession such as permits him to commence the action if the rightful possessor rejects him immediately on discovery of his presence on the premises.
