Qkay, @OP, here's my question:
For a tenant who pays yearly rent and is entitled to 6 months notice, at what time should the notice be served, and deemed legal?

Is it after his rent elapses and is due for renewal, or
Is it in between rents, i.e, say, about 6 months before his rent elapses?

I ask this because I know about someone who pays yearly rent, and halfway into his tenancy, he got a notice to quit from his landlord. He has about 6 more months before his next rent is due.
He doesn't default on his rent, pays up regularly. Is this right, or legal?
There was absolutely no reason given for the notice.

If you observe carefully, you will see that those babas does not care about these laws only when dealing with illiterates and ignorant tenant, when they encounter an enlighten tenant, they trade with care. If not they might be made to pay damages for the rest of their life.

2. Inadequate notice to quit: The duration of time
for which the notice to quit will expire is determine
by the kind of tenancy relationship existing between
the tenant and it's landlord. The landlord has no
right to quit the tenant anytime he likes .
* where the tenant pays monthly: the law requires
that he is entitled to full one month notice.
* where the tenant pays every six months: he will
be entitled to a full three months notice.
* where the tenant pays yearly: he will be entitled
to six months notice.
Any notice short of the above stipulated notices is
unlawful and gives the tenant right to sue for
unlawful eviction.

To as many as are tenants, I pray:

May God give you the grace to become landlords in Jesus name.

Amen!

Please be advised that you can actually give a yearly or bi-yearly or quarterly or monthly tenant just a MONTHS NOTICE TO QUIT and you will not be contravening any tenanncy law.
How it works is that the Landlord will have to EXPRESSLY STATE IT IN THE TENANCY AGREEMENT that irrespective of how the tenant pays his rent, that the tenancy will be DETERMINED BY A MONTHS NOTICE. If a prospective tenant accepts and signs the tenancy agreement without any duress, then I see why a landlord cannot terminate such tenancy with a months notice.

Actually the Landlord is right. A tenancy can be DETERMINED if the Landlord serves the tenant a quit notice six months before the expiration of the last rent paid.

How about the tenancy agreement? Some landlords in conjunction with their lawyer-agents do put in clauses in the agreement, that do not augur well with the unsuspecting tenants.

Quite enlightening.

I have a problem with the 6months quit notice for 1 year payers.
