Notices to Quit (Ireland) Act, 1876

A year’s notice to quit shall be necessary and sufficient to determine a tenancy from year to year.

1. In any letting which shall take place after the passing of this Act a year’s notice to quit, expiring on any gale day of the calendar year on which the rent becomes due and payable in respect of the holding, irrespective of the period of the year when such tenancy commenced, shall in all cases be necessary and sufficient to determine a tenancy from year to year of any holding in Ireland, where a notice to quit is now by law necessary for the determination of the same, except in the case when a tenant shall be adjudged a bankrupt, or shall have filed a petition for a composition or arrangement with his creditors, and in that case a half year’s notice expiring on any gale day, irrespective of the period of the year when such tenancy commenced, shall be sufficient; but nothing in this section shall extend to the case of a tenancy from year to year where there is or may be an express agreement in writing as to the time and mode of determining such tenancy.
