Commentary on Sections

Part 9 - Termination Etc. of Occupation Contracts

Chapter 2 - Termination Etc. Without a Possession Claim.(This Chapter Applies to All Occupation Contracts)
Section 153 – Termination by agreement

360.This section provides for an occupation contract to be ended by agreement between the contract-holder and landlord (if the contract incorporates this section as a term). The contract ends when the contract-holder gives up possession as agreed. If a substitute occupation contract (defined in subsection (2)) arises, the contract which the landlord and contract-holder agreed to terminate ends immediately before the occupation date of the substitute contract.
