Subject to section 5 below, a tenancy of an agricultural holding for a term of two years or more shall, instead of terminating on the term date, continue (as from that date) as a tenancy from year to year, but otherwise on the terms of the original tenancy so far as applicable, unless—
not less than one year nor more than two years before the term date a written notice has been given by either party to the other of his intention to terminate the tenancy, or
section 4 below applies.
A notice given under subsection (1) above shall be deemed, for the purposes of this Act, to be a notice to quit.
This section does not apply to a tenancy which, by virtue of subsection (6) of section 149 of the Law of Property Act 1925, takes effect as such a term of years as is mentioned in that subsection.
In this section "term date", in relation to a tenancy granted for a term of years, means the date fixed for the expiry of that term.
