ormer quarters, the receipt, if given for the last quarter,
precludes the landlord from recovery thereof.
1498. Notice to Quit.
When either the landlord or tenant intends to terminate a tenancy, the
way to proceed is by a notice to quit, which is drawn up in the two
following ways:
1499. _Form of a Notice to Quit from a Tenant to his Landlord._
Sir,--I hereby give you notice, that on or before the------day of
------next, I shall quit and deliver up possession of the house and
premises I now hold of you, situate at------, in the parish of
------, in the county of------.
Dated the------day of------, 18
Witness, G.C.
L.O.
To Mr. R. A.
1500. _Notice from Landlord to his Tenant._
--Sir,--I hereby give you notice to quit and deliver up possession
to me of the house and appurtenances, situate No------, which you
now hold of me, on or before------next.
Dated------, 18 .
(Signed) R.A. (landlord).
To Mr. L. O.
1501. Notice to Quit.
An opinion is very generally entertained, however, that a quarter's
warning to quit, where the house is of small rental, is sufficient
notice; but where the rent is payable quarterly, or at longer
intervals, this is a mistake, for unless a special agreement is made
defining the time to be given as a warning, six months' notice to quit
must be given, to expire on the same day of the year upon which the
tenancy commenced. Where the rent is payable weekly or monthly, the
notice to quit will be good if given for the week or month, provided
care be taken that it expires upon the day of the week or month of the
beginning of the tenancy.
1502. _Form of Notice from a Landlord to his Tenant to Quit or Pay an
increased Rent._
To Mr. R. A.--Sir,--I hereby give you notice to deliver up
possession, and quit on or before------, the [_here state the house
or apartment_] and appurtenances which you now hold of me in
[_insert the name of street, &c._], and in default of your
compliance therewith, I do and will insist on your paying me for the
same, the [_annual or monthly_] rent of----, being an additional
rental of----pounds per annum [_over and above the present annual
rental_] rent, for such time as you shall detain the key and keep
possession over the said notice.
Witness my hand, this----day of----, 18.
