Home Dictionary Name: quiteNotice to quit
Notice to quit. Where there is a tenancy from year to year subsisting, it can only be put an end to by notice to quit, which may be given by either party, and must be given one half-year previously to the expiration of the current year of tenancy, so as to expire at the same period of the year in which the tenant entered upon the premises. This rule is to be invariably followed in all cases, except where there is some special agreement between the parties to a different effect, or where a particular local custom intervenes, or where the (English) Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923, applies, in which case, by s. 25 of that Act, a notice must be given to terminate the tenancy twelve months from the end of the then current year of the tenancy.Where the term of a lease is to end on a precise day, there is no occasion for a notice to quit previously to bringing an action of ejectment because both parties are equally apprised of the termination of the term. If a tenant continue in possession by...
Quit rent
Quit rent (quietus redditus), a rent payable to the lord by a freeholder or ancient copyholder of a manor, so called because thereby the tenant goes quit and free of all other services, 2 Bl. Com. 42. As no manor has been created since the statute Quia Emptores (see MANOR; QUIA EMPTORES), every quit rent must have become first payable at a date prior to that statute.A quit rent may be 'redeemed' by the owner of the land subject thereto, under s. 45 of the Con-veyancing Act, 1881, reproduced by the Law of Property Act, 1925, s. 191. Also to the remedies for non-payment, see s. 121 and ibid.Means a payment to a feudal lord by a freeholder or copyholder, so called because upon payment the tenant goes 'quit and free' (discharged) of all other services, Black's Law Dictionary, 7th Edn., p. 1262....

Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923
Agricultural Holdings Act, 1923 (English) (13 & 14 Geo. 5, cc. 9 and 25). By a series of statutes commencing with the Agricultural Holdings Act, 1875, statutory compensation has been provided for an outgoing agricultural tenant in respect of the improvements effected by him during his tenancy. The operation of this Act could be and frequently was excluded by agreement, but now the tenant cannot deprive himself by contract of the right to claim compensation which is conferred on him by the Act, although he may within limits substitute other benefits by agreement. The Act of 1923 (as amended by the Agricultural Holdings Amendment Act, 1923) repeals and consolidates all the earlier statutes dealing with the subject, and confers on outgoing tenants of 'holdings' the rights and benefits briefly outlined below. The term 'holding' means any parcel of land held by a tenant which is wholly agricultural or wholly pastoral, or in whole or in part cultivated as a market garden, and which is not le...
Leave
Leave, having regard to the language of Rule 123 doubtless the word 'leave' has been used as a verb and not as a noun. Taking the word in its ordinary parlance if used as a verb it clearly connotes that the candidate should have given up the job or quitted the service or severed all connections with the post that he was holding. If the word 'leave' would have been used as a noun in the sense of obtaining leave or furlough then the concept of permission would undoubtedly have to be considered. In Black's Law Dictionary, Revised Fourth Edition at p. 1036 the author referring the case of Landreth v. Casey, 340 III 519; 173 NE 84 (85) observes as follows: 'Wilful departure with intent to remain away, and not temporary absence with intention of returning.' To the same effect is the definition of the word 'leave' when used as a verb in Webster's New International Dictionary at p. 1287 where it has been defined as meaning 'desert, abandon, forsake, to give up the practice, to quit service and...
