129 Abolition of yearly tenancies arising by implication of law

(1) No tenancy from year to year shall, after the commencement of this Act, be implied by payment of rent; if there is a tenancy, and no agreement as to its duration, then such tenancy shall be deemed to be a tenancy determinable at the will of either of the parties by 1 month’s notice in writing expiring at any time.
(2) This section shall not apply where there is a tenancy from year to year which has arisen by implication before the commencement of this Act, and, in the case of any such tenancy in respect of which the date of its creation is unknown to the lessor or lessee, as the case may be, who is seeking to determine the same, such tenancy shall, subject to any express agreement to the contrary, be determinable by 6 months’ notice in writing expiring on the day immediately before the first anniversary of the coming into operation of this Act, or any date afterwards.
