iven previous notice,
although not expressed in the lease), for the purpose of viewing the
state of the property.

1480. Termination of Leases.

A tenant must deliver up possession at the expiration of the term (the
lease being sufficient notice), or he will continue liable to the rent
as tenant by sufferance without any new contract; but if the landlord
recognises such tenancy by accepting a payment of rent after the lease
has expired, such acceptance will constitute a tenancy; but previous
to accepting rent, the landlord may bring his ejectment without
notice; for, the lease having expired, the tenant is a trespasser. A
lease covenanted to be void if the rent be not paid upon the day
appointed, is good, unless the landlord make an entry.

1481. Rights of Married Women.

Married Women, with the concurrence of their husbands, may grant
leases by deed for any term. Husbands, seised in right of their wives,
may grant leases for twenty-one years. If a wife is executrix, the
husband and wife have the power of leasing, as in the ordinary case of
husband and wife. A married woman living separate from her husband may
by taking a lease bind her separate estate for payment of the rent and
performance of the covenants.

1482. Copyholders.

Copyholders may not grant a lease for longer than one year, unless by
custom, or permission of the lord: and the lease of a steward of a
manor is not good, unless he is duly invested with a power for that
purpose.

1483. Notices.

All notices, of whatever description, relating to tenancies, should be
in writing, and the person serving the said notice should write on the
back thereof a memorandum of the date on which it was served, and
should keep a copy of the said notice, with a similar memorandum
attached.

1484. Yearly Tenancies.

Houses are considered as _let_ for the year, and the tenants are
subject to the laws affecting annual tenancies, unless there be an
agreement in writing to the contrary.

1485. _Agreement for taking a House on an Annual Tenancy_.
