(1) Despite any period of tenancy stipulated therein, a contract of tenancy may be determined—
(a) by the landlord without notice—
(i) where the tenant is convicted of larceny of agricultural produce or livestock or of being in possession of agricultural produce or livestock stolen or unlawfully obtained or where the tenant is serving a term of imprisonment exceeding one year,
(ii) where the tenant sublets or assigns the small holding without the consent of the landlord previously obtained in writing;
(b) by the landlord by 3 months notice to quit where the tenancy exceeds one year or by one month where the tenancy is for one year or less—
(i) where the tenant commits a breach which is not capable of being remedied, of any term or condition of the tenancy and the interests of the landlord are materially prejudiced thereby,
(ii) upon certification by the Director of Agricultural Services or his or her nominee that the tenant is not cultivating the holding according to the rules of good husbandry and that the interests of the landlord are materially prejudiced thereby.
However, such a certificate shall not be granted unless and until the tenant has been given, by notice in writing, a reasonable opportunity to remedy his or her default;
(iii) if any part of the rent in respect of a small holding shall be in arrears or if any of the terms of the consideration for the contract of tenancy shall not be performed or observed by the tenant.
However, in the case of rent in arrears, if the tenant pays such rent to the landlord within the period of notice, then and in such case the notice to quit shall be deemed to be cancelled and shall be of no force and effect;
(c) by the tenant without notice where the landlord commits a breach of any term or condition of the contract and the interests of the tenant are materially prejudiced thereby.
(2) It shall not be necessary that a notice to quit under this section should expire at the end of the current term of the tenancy but it may be given at any time.
