of lease; leases of tenant houses located on poultry farms.
(a) Every verbal lease of agricultural land and every written lease of agricultural land in which no term is expressed shall be deemed
and construed to be a lease having a term of 1 year, terminating on December 31 next occurring unless the lease is entered into after
September 1, in which case the lease shall terminate on the second December 31 next occurring.
(b) In every verbal lease of agricultural land and every written lease of agricultural land in which no term is expressed, the lease shall
terminate at the end of 1 year, terminating on December 31 next occurring unless the lease is entered into after September 1, in which
case the lease shall terminate on the second December 31 next occurring; provided, however, the landlord or tenant gives the other party
notice in writing at least 4 months in advance of the expiration date thereof that the landlord or tenant, as the case may be, intends to
terminate the lease at the expiration date thereof. If no such notice is given by either party the lease shall become a year to year lease
renewing itself yearly under the same terms and conditions until the hereinmentioned notice requirement is met by either party desiring
to terminate said lease.
(c) Notice, as provided for herein, shall not be required if all parties to a lease of agricultural land specify in writing that said lease shall
terminate on the expiration date thereof without notice of such termination.
(d) In every verbal lease of a tenant house located on a poultry farm and every written lease of a tenant house located on a poultry
farm in which no term is expressed, the landlord or tenant, as the case may be, shall have 14 days to notify the landlord/or tenant, as the
case may be, that the lease of the tenant house is terminated, except that this subsection shall not apply to a tenant who is not involved
with the management or supervision of poultry.
