    6. Premises not to be sub-let or lease assigned without permission of landlord. 7. Premises to be left in good repair, reasonable wear excepted. 8. Provision to enable owner to re-enter premises if the tenant fail to pay his rent or to comply with any covenants or stipulations contained in the lease. 9. Should such re-entry or recovery of possession by the owner happen, the tenant to be debarred from maintaining any action in consequence of the re-entry. 44. WITH REGARD TO NOTICES TO QUIT, if the premises be held under lease for a fixed term of years, the tenant is free to leave at the expiration of the time without giving any notice whatever, unless there be a stipulation to the contrary ; and this holds -g' ‘3 for any fixed term of years, however short, and even for a three year’s agree- ment. Few tenants, however, would give up their occupancy without acquainting the owner of the premises with their intension, so that he may take the necessary steps to re-let them. A yearly tenancy, and a tenancy from year to year created by the continuance of occupancy under a three year’s agreement after the term of three years has been completed, are determinable on a notice to quit given by either party six months prior to the anniversary of the day of entry. That is to say, if the tenancy has commenced, for example, at the September quarter day, notice must be given by either party on or before the March quarter day, which is six months prior to the anniversary of the day of entry. In giving notice there are certain points which should be borne in mind both by landlord and tenant. These are - 1. When a landlord serves a tenant with notice to quit he should state that he will charge double rent if the premises are not given up at the end of the tenancy. 2. A tenant should serve a notice to quit on the landlord or his agent, or at the abode of both of them. It is better to serve notices personally to some one on the premises, whether it be in the case of service on landlord or agent, or of service on tenant. 3. If a notice be sent by post some one should be present to be able to depose on oath that it has been posted. If there be no whness to the posting the letter should be registered. 4. To prevent any difficulty, it is better to serve a notice to quit, or cause it to be served, before midday, or noon, of the quarter day six months prior to anniversary of day of entrance. The following forms of notices may be found useful. I. NOTICE FROM LANDLORD TO TERMINATE YEARLY TENANCY TO TENANT. 'To [C. D.] . . . . I [A. B.] do hereby give you notice to quit and deliver up to [me], on the {twenty-ninth] day of [September] next, the peaceable and quiet posses- sion of all [that messuage or tenement], with the appurtenances thereunto belonging, situate and being [No. 54, Upton Street, Clapham], in the County of [Surrey], which you now hold of [me] as tenant from year to year, at the expiration of the current year of your tenancy, which shall expire next after the end of half a year ^rom the date hereof. Dated this [twenty-fourtK] day of [March], 188-. The notice to determine a tenancy under a three years’ agreement would be expressed in precisely similar terms, the words “under a three years’ agreement “ being substituted for the words “ from year to year.” II. NOTICE FROM TENANT TO DETERMINE YEARLY TENANCY TO LANDLORD. To [A. B.] .... I [C. D.] hereby give you notice that I shall quit and deliver up to you, on the [twenty-ninth] day of [September] next, the peaceable and quiet possession of all [that messuage or tenement], with the appurtenances thereunto
