CHAPTER IX.
NOTICE TO QUIT.
CLAUSES OF THE ACT.
Time of notice to quit.51.—Where a half-year's notice, expiring with a year of tenancy, is by law necessary and sufficient for determination of a tenancy from year to year, a year's notice so expiring shall by virtue of this Act be necessary and sufficient for the same; but nothing in this section shall extend to a case where the tenant is adjudged bankrupt, or has filed a petition for a composition or arrangement with his creditors.
REMARKS.
In all tenancies affected by this Act one year's notice to quit must be given by either party, expiring at the same time of the year at which the tenancy commenced. It must not be understood that where there is a written agreement, in which provision is made as to notice to quit, then, even if this Act form part of the contract, the notice to quit to be given is that required by the Act, for Sec. 54 expressly provides for liberty of contract.
