Under the central rule in section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, what is the usual notice period to end a deemed month-to-month lease for a non-agricultural, non-manufacturing purpose, absent a contrary contract, local law or usage?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer A

Section 106(1) prescribes 15 days’ notice for this deemed month-to-month lease. The period runs from receipt under subsection (2). The statutory period can end on a date other than the end of a tenancy month. Under subsection (3), a short notice is not invalid merely on that account if the suit or proceeding is filed after the prescribed period has expired.

Option feedback

Option A

Section 106(1) prescribes 15 days and subsection (2) starts the period on receipt.

Option B

A one-month notice period does not follow from a month-to-month tenancy under section 106.

Option C

The central default for this kind of lease is 15 days.

Option D

Section 106 does not prescribe 60 days for this lease.
