This section applies where—
a tenancy such as is mentioned in subsection (1) of section 3 above is granted on or after 12th September 1984 to any person or persons,
the person, or the survivor of the persons, dies before the term date, and
no notice effective to terminate the tenancy on the term date has been given under that subsection.
Where this section applies, the tenancy, instead of continuing as mentioned in section 3(1) above—
shall, if the death is one year or more before the term date, terminate on that date, or
shall, if the death is at any other time, continue (as from the term date) for a further period of twelve months, but otherwise on the terms of the tenancy so far as applicable, and shall accordingly terminate on the first anniversary of the term date.
For the purposes of the provisions of this Act with respect to compensation any tenancy terminating in accordance with this section shall be deemed to terminate by reason of a notice to quit given by the landlord of the holding.
In this section "term date" has the same meaning as in section 3 above.
