(1) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the tenancy of a small holding shall not terminate on the expiration of the terms for which it was granted unless at least 6 months' notice in writing to terminate such tenancy at the expiration of such term has been given by either the landlord or the tenant.
(2) Subject to the provisions of section 10 where no term of tenancy is specified in a contract of tenancy or where any tenancy is not terminated in accordance with the provision of subsection (1) at the end of the term for which it is created, such tenancy shall continue until such time as it is terminated by 6 months' notice in writing to expire at the end of any year of the tenancy.
(3) If the tenant of any land gives notice to quit, and neglects or refuses to deliver up possession accordingly, the landlord may by action in the court recover from the tenant damages for the estimated loss resulting, in the ordinary course of events, from the neglect or refusal to deliver up possession.
(4) Any provision contained in a contract of tenancy, including a contract entered into before the commencement of this Act, shall be void in so far as it purports to impose upon the tenant a liability to pay, in respect of any period during which the tenant neglects or refuses to deliver up possession in accordance with a notice to quit, an amount specified by the contract as an addition to the rent for that period.
