Clause 4(n), which permits termination if the demised premises become unfit for habitation for reasons not attributable to landlord or tenant, is a provision for earlier determination within section 121(2)(a) so the tenancy was caught by Part V of the Landlord and Tenant (Consolidation) Ordinance and the landlord required six months written notice; on the facts the tenant surrendered by giving vacant possession on 17 November 1981 and plaintiffs are entitled to pro rata rent for 1–17 November but not to the $3,500 clearance cost as damages for an anticipated breach.
