This Act makes provision with respect to contracts relative to agricultural small tenancies. Section 8 concerns the termination of a contract of tenancy in the case of serious offence by the tenant against his or her duty to keep the land in good order. A tenant may assign, with the consent of the landlord, assign his interest in a registered land at any time to a person or persons (sect. 10). Sub-letting is prohibited. Rights of the landlord are set out in section 16. Part II deals with compensations for improvement. Various other provisions concern the relationship between the landlord and tenant and settlement of disputes.
