Mutual rights where landlord has a nominal reversion.

32.—Where a tenant has served on his landlord a notice of intention to claim relief and such landlord has a reversion not exceeding one month in the tenement to which such notice relates, such landlord may, within one month after the service of such notice on him, serve on such tenant a notice in the prescribed form continuing the tenancy of such tenant in such tenement until the expiration of such reversion, and thereupon the following provisions shall have effect, that is to say:—

(a) such tenancy shall be continued until the expiration of such reversion at the same rent and subject to the same covenants and conditions as theretofore;

(b) the said notice of intention to claim relief shall be deemed to have been served in respect of the termination of the tenancy on the expiration of such reversion and, if it was validly served in respect of the original termination, it shall be valid in respect of the later termination;

(c) such landlord shall be deemed for the purposes of this Act to have had no reversion in such tenement at the date of the service of the said notice of intention to claim relief.
