Rahul rents a shop in the city for running his retail business. Later, the landlord decides to terminate the lease. Since the lease is for purposes other than agriculture or manufacturing and there is no special contract between the parties, the landlord wonders how many days’ notice he must legally give under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, to end the lease. What is the required notice period?
