Law of Property (Amendment) Act 1924

Apportionment of conditions.

28 (1) Section twelve of the Conveyancing Act, 1881, shall apply in any case where the severance of the reversion is effected after the commencement of the principal Act, whether the lease or tenancy was made before or after the thirty-first day of December, eighteen hundred and eighty-one.

(2) In that section “right of re-entry ” includes a right to determine the lease by notice to quit or otherwise, but where the notice is served by a person entitled to a severed part of the reversion so that it extends to part only of the land demised, the lessee may, within one month determine the lease in regard to the rest of the land by giving to the owner of the reversionary estate therein a counter notice expiring at the same time as the original notice.
