Notice to quit to terminate lease

87. Notice to quit to terminate lease



(1) A notice to quit given in accordance with the provisions of section
eighty-two of this Act shall, if the tenancy in respect of which the notice
was given has not otherwise terminated, operate so as to terminate the tenancy
of the premises at the expiration of the period specified in the notice, but
nothing in the foregoing provisions of this section shall operate so as to
determine any tenancy before the date on which it would have terminated if
this section had not been enacted.

(2) If in any proceedings the lessor is allowed to rely on any ground which
was not specified or particulars of which were not given in the notice to quit
and the Tribunal makes an order for recovery of possession of the premises on
that ground, the order shall operate to terminate the tenancy of the lessee on
that ground as from the date specified in that behalf in the order.
