Where Section 106(1) of the Transfer of Property Act, 1882 applies and no contrary contract, local law or usage controls, how much notice is required to terminate a deemed year-to-year lease for agricultural or manufacturing purposes?

Select one answer
Answer and explanation

Correct answer B

Section 106(1) deems leases for agricultural or manufacturing purposes to be from year to year and ordinarily requires six months' notice.

The notice period runs from receipt. A short notice does not by itself invalidate a suit or proceeding filed after the required period has expired.

Option feedback

Option A

Three months is shorter than the statutory default for this class of lease.

Option B

The statutory default for the agricultural or manufacturing class is six months.

Option C

The month-to-month description of other leases does not prescribe one month's notice.

Option D

Fifteen days is the statutory default for leases for other purposes.
