Question

Rahul rents a shop in the city for running a retail business. The landlord decides to terminate the lease. As the lease is not for agriculture or manufacturing and there is no special contract, how many days' notice is required under the Transfer of Property Act, 1882?

• A. Five days’ notice
• B. Fifteen days’ notice
• C. Forty-five days’ notice

Hint:

TPA 106 → 6 months for agriculture/manufacturing; 15 days for all other leases.
