Introductory

Death of tenant before term date.
4
1
This section applies where—
a
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,
b
the person, or the survivor of the persons, dies before the term date, and
c
no notice effective to terminate the tenancy on the term date has been given under that subsection.
2
Where this section applies, the tenancy, instead of continuing as mentioned in section 3(1) above—
a
shall, if the death is one year or more before the term date, terminate on that date, or
b
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.
3
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.
4
In this section “term date” has the same meaning as in section 3 above.
