Under section 106 of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882, a lease of immovable property for a purpose other than agriculture or manufacturing is, in the absence of a contract, local law or usage to the contrary, a lease from month to month terminable "By fifteen days' notice". Since the 2002 amendment the notice no longer has to expire with the end of a month of the tenancy. Six months' notice ending with a year of the tenancy applies to leases for agricultural or manufacturing purposes, and no permission of the court is needed to end a lease by notice.
